Friend, you requested this almost-daily newsletter at www.honestlotto.com. Enjoy! NOTE: Don't forget that each third Lotto-Tips newsletter announces a lucky Free Draw winner! (It could be you this issue). Hi Friend, Ken Silver here again... Ever wondered what lotto winners spend their money on? Ever pondered whether money will change you... or your relationships with friends and family? I think the fascinating results of this survey this will surprise you. Camelot, the British lottery organisation, did a survey of 65 Lotto winners who won over £1 million (that's about US$1.19million, or Canadian $1.57million), to find out a bit more about their spending habits. Question included whether money can buy you happiness... what winners do in their spare time... if they lose weight after a win... where they spend their vacation... and whether they stay married. But are they happy? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Contrary to popular belief around 70% of Lotto winners said that they were happier now than before their win. 28% of winners say that they were just as happy as they were before the win. The amount won does not seem to make a difference to the levels of happiness experienced. Those who have won £1 to £3 million are just as happy as those who have won more than £3 million. The main reasons for the increase in happiness are having greater security and no money worries, (57%), they can buy what they like, (28%) and being able to look after their family and friends, (12%). What do they do with all that spare time? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Winning the Lotto does not tend to make winners take up new hobbies. Of those who do take up a new hobby the majority play golf, (25%). The more bizarre hobbies include scuba diving, clay pigeon shooting and sponsoring a motor bike racing team. What have they spent their money on? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Purchases immediately after the win included a car, (34%), new clothes, (11%) and jewellery, (11%). Some winners made rather odd choices with their new money. Immediate purchases included a pushchair, a fan belt for their mother's car, a mobile home and a new bed for the dog! One kind hearted winner commented in the survey: "I bought two briefcases and then went to the bank and took out £175,000 which I shared with my boss and work colleagues". As expected, the most expensive single purchase was a house, (77%), followed by a car, (14%). The shopping list of luxury items bought contained a few surprises. Some of the more unusual purchases included: 1. Swimming pools/ outdoor spas 2. Luxury cars/ sports cars 3. Horses and race horses 4. Pets and pet equipment 5. Rare coins and banknotes 6. A flight with Leeds United to Madeira for a football match 7. Hastings Town Football Club 8. An operation to have their ears pinned back 9. A power hose! 10. A pair of flowery toilet seats at £100 each ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not Bought My Honest Lotto System?
