Yeah, as I said, it's to help with the adjustment. I personally would never go public on something like this.Âmk64 wrote:I thought one of the main reasons that the national lottery offer counselling is because of the influx of begging letters etc big winners receieve. And its hard when you're a normal person to reject every single heart-string request when you've probably got the cash. But there are other adjustments too. The class thing can be tricky. Just because you can afford a membership to the exclusive golf club doesn't mean you'll enjoy it when you turn up with a working class accent and everyone shuns you.. (exaggerated example). They also offer financial assistance too.

Yeah I would leave work and study full-time. At the moment, I have to do it either early in the morning before a day of drudgery or at the end when I'm tired and grumpy. After that, get a job I actually want regardless of pay. If I can't find one, invent one.ÂElmlea wrote:It's easy to imagine people having everything they want and not needing to work, but being listless and bored. Â Things fill your time nicely but they don't objectively make you happy. Â That's why until you get into middle 7 figure wins, I wouldn't leave work, and even with that sort of money, I'd retrain. Even if I ended up going back to university 5 times and getting half a dozen degrees, I'd have to do something to maintain a bit of a routine and a bit of purpose.
