A very popular quietstion, I have always believed that if you won the lottery it wouldn't change you but the people around you. I.E people you have met once or twice dropping hints that you want some money. What are your opinions on this?

I agree with you.
Some people are just greedy, and even if you are their friends, they will just want the money.
In most cases you will be the same person, as long as you don't let the money go to ur head, and let ur head swell.. just let ur bank account do that:p
Yes. I used to be friends with someone who wasn't too well off. He was quite cool and his family were nice. Then he won the lottery and turned into a mustard (b word rhyming with it). He now hangs around with the chavvy lot that used to go to my school.
It does, no matter if you say you wont' change you will.
It's life.
Yes, it might not change you, but it always changes people around you.
Alot of people fall out over money
People who have won the lottery said that they'd rather not have won it, the attention of old friends, press and overall boredom has driven them into depression. But i suppose its how you deal with the money.
So yes, it does change you and people around you.
Depends on your personality. ;]
nope, my xgf won it shes still the lying selfish ***** she used to be just now she doesn't have to lie about what she has or steal money from me :)
good things happen to bad people... remember that :)
I doubt it would change the person, but obviously it would change their lifestyle and affect the people around them. If i were to win the lottery, depending on the amount, i would give a bit to friends and family, but other than that, i would not broadcast the fact too much.
yes it changes everyone around you and if you give it away it changes you makein you a beter person
I think it depends on the person, whether there generous enough to give some of it to a charity, yes thats a good deed but they could still be a bad person.Quote:

That would change my lifestyle but I wouldn't be stuck up, and I wouldn't ignore my friends.
Yeah, its true. Which is sad. I know the cure for cancer: Be a complete jerk your entire life, and you'll live till youre 120 and you wont even get a cold.Quote:

You might think you dont change but you will because you start to hang around with the wrong group and thats what changes you
but if you have won the lottery, then some people are jelous, and they CHANGE around you. you have no otpion to change, because you feel uncomfortable.
People who change because they have more money are just *****
It really depends on how much you won.
If you won a euro millions £120,000,000 your immidiately going to be stuck up and your life is changed for ever, and generations of your family is. ALL of your friends and distant family like auntie Margaret who lives in China and you only met her once are you going to be begging for money.
If you won say
£3,000,000 I know it sounds a lot, but it's not that life changing, you can get a nice house though.
I would love to say no. "I will be entirely the same." But no, I will get stuck up and probably lose my friends. Money, or the lack of it, does strange things to people.
it was in the sun after a women won the euro millions , before and after. After she looked so much Healthier

I don't think you can say it wouldn't change you because in some way it would it could be good or bad like you could become really stuck up but you could also use your money to help people less fortunate
It will defently change you
itll change your prospect on life,
the people around you,
the way you act,
the way people act towards you
