Perhaps, a good lesson in all of this is the life of Poor Jack Whittaker (lottery winner) from West Virginia (USA). He was a very successful businessman when one day he won what at the time was the world's largest lottery prize: $350 million (or a lump sum of $115 million after taxes we paid).

After that he became very generous and lost his focus only to lose everything by the end of last year. There is some information here, at WIKIPEDIA. >> I think he had some good intentions, but those went *way out of hand* and a once-hard-working man lost the very ideals that led him there. There's a good story by a Washington Post staff writer on what happened. But the deal is that Jack is now broke. In less than 5 years $115 million vanished. I suppose this is only second to Mike Tyson's loss of $300 million.

Anyway, I started talking about the issue as I don't want to "give away" anything and attract the wrong Entrepreneurs. My goal is to find ways to not only obtain a stake in any venture that is awarded funds, and to even further help such an organization to build more capital. Perhaps, eventually to go public.

Ok, need to get some things done before lunch. I've got to wrap up a lot here and will use part of the weekend's work time to post the contest up on this site.

Back to work. Hope you have a good weekend. Carpe Diem. Sam.
