And Just Like That My Life Changes

I'm confessing to being lucky. No skill involved. I won a multimillion dollar lottery. I'm just 24. I'm scared. Only one other person knows and he is engaging attorneys so I don't have to be identified, they are setting up a trust in a name nothing like mine. He wants me to talk with a financial wealth advisor, an older Jewish lawyer CPA. I don't even know what to ask.

The man who is helping me is not family, my family doesn't know at this time. How can I live and use the money and explain it?

OK, now the juicy part. I do not sleep with him, I am not a virgin, I am straight. I grew up in a two parent family, college graduates, no one is in jail, we get along. We are Christians. We are middle class, maybe a bit more. I am a junior professional for an established company.

I wish I had not bought the lotto ticket. I know the right thing to do is to take the money, wisely, and take care of it and shelter myself against scumbags. I need my shield, I'm not strong enough alone. I can't hardly believe I will need attorneys, tax advisors, and my shield. One day I am deciding on a take home dinner or fast food. I stop at a convenience store for a drink, I spend one dollar on one ticket, and an hour later I have a problem.
