1 million naira is not a lot but it can uplift a poor man,if used wisely.He can set up a small retail business with that amount

For those of u sayin one million is too small for one to start a life, then i think u guys stil under parental care.

Are sayin that if you'r workin on a job of 5,000 monthly, and someone (maybe your uncle) gives 1million naira to start a new life, you would see it as a chicken change ? undecided  Do you know many people that are millionaires with just N100,000 ? undecided

Well, i no blame una sha, maybe na peeps like una the OP dey talk about, you guys need to get a pair of ballz, REALLY !!!

leftone:

been rich starts from the inside.
it just shows they werent equipped to handle the type of money they make.
thats why most yahoo boys dont survive too.
they arent built to handle the money they get.

True

Money managemnt is a skill that is developed gradually in the course of someone's career
Once this skill is not developed as it should,one will remain poor no matter the amount of money that comes once way except one pays for the service of someone who has those skills and allows the person to do what he/she is good at.

It just happens that most people who take time to play the lottery have not been engaged in activities that would make them develop these skills, that is why they have plenty time for lottery playing anyway!

Re: Lottery:why Do Winners Squander Their Earnings by Ibomade1: 6:25pm On Oct 29, 2010
In psychology there is what is described as comfort zone, most people build their comfort zone around their monthly salary or whatever they allocate for their upkeep from their business. Any sudden inflow of money often act as a treat to the comfort zone and knowingly or unknowingly actions are taken by the individual to return to the comfort zone (such as purchasing things you do not really need).

It is basically like a knee jerk response because the things that you have lived successfully without having for years will suddenly become a must have item. Hence, the person goes back to their state of rest. This can be back to poverty or his/her original financial state.

Classic Example:  Mr Michael Carroll a.k.a Lotto Lout


This is the Miseducation of Professor Ibo-made  grin grin grin

It is because he lacks the skills needed to manage such amount of money. It is as simply as that, he must be a pro at managing few thousands.

Simply because the money was made in an easy way, there was no stress, oftentimes, it is because they lack the skills to manage the money, they will first feel that the money is so huge that it can never finish

The #1 reason a lot of lottery winners loose their fortune is that they are mentally not millionaires. Wealth is first of all; a state of mind! "if you win a million bucks you better hurry up & become a millionaire mentally or else you will go back to level of income that matches your mental/ personal state of mind.
The same reason why a lot of athletes,entertainers e.t.c that have made a boat load of money during their carriers end up in the poor-house after their carriers end, The list is endless, and it crosses all social & ethnic line
