Well he's certainly not the first and he wont be the last. If you think about it 3mil really isnt that much money, but people certainly go hog wild thinking they are rich.
Do the math:
If he is 40 years old and expected to live another 50, divide 3mil into 50 years = He can realisticly take 60k a year and the money will last the rest of his life. Add a little more for interest (if he was smart) and he could technically retire on the $$. But he went ass wild and blew it all and now he has to go out and get a 9-5.
How about the idiot in Florida that won 200mil something and then his ridiculous house was sold at auction by the HOA for not paying $5000 in back dues.
