You would think that an $85 million lottery win would be enough, right? Not for Brad Duke. He wants to turn his $85 million into a billion. Yes, that's right, Brad wants to be a billionaire!
The man, from Star, Idaho won a $220,000 million Powerball jackpot in 2007. He received it in an $85 million lump-sum payment. He first checked his tickets online, and then read the disclosure that the numbers are not 100% verifiable. Then he drove to a gas station in a rental car and verified the numbers there. That's when he knew that he won. So, he drove to the lottery claims office and found it that it was closed for memorial day. Gee, this guy just has so much bad luck!
But Brad is not satisfied with his $85 million in cash. He wants to turn it into a billion dollars. So, he assembled a team of financial advisers. His team of advisers tell him his goal will be achievable in 12-15 years with the right investments.
Do you know what was one of the first things that Duke bought with his new-found wealth? A "used black VW Jetta with black interior." He could afford a Bentley but he goes with the Volkswagen! Atta' boy, Brad!
Brad used a lottery system to win big. He had a certain methodology to picking his numbers and it worked!
