Jack Whittaker won over 100 million dollars in a 2002 Powerball Lottery. It's not simple trying to figure out exactly how Jack managed to lose it all in only four years. But I think one could manage a sum like that & live well if one learned from Jack's experiences & followed some simple don'ts: 1. Don't take up casino gambling as a hobby. 2. Don't booze. 3. Don't carry enormous amounts of cash in your car or on your person. 4. Don't stash the loot in regular bank accounts. 5. Don't support family drug addicts. 6. Don't invest in risky vanity business ventures, like saloons & restaurants. 7. Don't be the big shot around the old neighborhood.
