Don’t let your moment slip away


Although winning the lottery is a matter of luck, what comes afterwards is anything but. There are plenty of stories of people winning the big jackpot but then losing it all because they simply didn’t know how to manage such a large sum.

But this Thai woman had spent years planning her next move for whenever she won the lottery. She even had the next few years of her life and finances mapped out just in case her time came. And come, it did.

So if you’re a lottery winner hopeful, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start planning for your happily ever after. The chances may be slim, but you have to be ready to grasp your opportunity when it’s here.
