After getting rich overnight at 21, he didn't spend money recklessly! He hired a financial advisor to protect his assets: only regrets not buying Bitcoin earlier.
At 21 years old, with a $28 million Powerball jackpot, Schultz practices rational financial management and avoids extravagance, choosing long-term investing and creative pursuits to lead a stable life as one of the few lottery winners to achieve wealth. In 1999, at just 21 years old, Schultz was working at a gas station when he lucked out and won $28 million in the Powerball jackpot, instantly becoming a multimillionaire and gaining financial freedom. He shared his experience with Business Insider, noting that unlike many young people, even though he acquired a huge sum of wealth at such a young age, he was very clear that without rationality, this money could disappear quickly. Buying a lottery ticket only costs one dollar and a dream. However, the price of turning dreams into reality is often heavier than imagined. Over the years, countless lottery winners have quickly squandered their winnings after sudden wealth, even falling into bankruptcy and life chaos, as was the case with former Powerball winners.

All-in in the crypto world, leverage at its maximum: Why do young people prefer gambling over believing in hard work?
Author: sysls Editor: Luffy, Foresight News I am not a stock picking expert. I believe in a broad, low-win-rate (≤53%) betting strategy, but I am willing to bet everything on one point: long-term speculation will be the mainstream socio-economic theme for the next century. This also explains why people over 40 advise you to focus on your job and seek a raise, while people of other ages ignore this advice and pursue any opportunity that can make them get rich quickly. The best product to sell to this group of people is hope. Once you understand this, you can see why various casinos (including decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, etc.) have emerged, and why trading mentors, business celebrities, paid courses, and of course, paid Substack columns are so popular.
