* * * * * Lotto millionaire found dead * * * * *Police are investigating the death of one of Britain's youngest lottery jackpot winners.Stuart Donnelly was found dead at his home in Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, on Wednesday morning.The 29-year-old won almost £2 million when he hit the jackpot in November 1997 aged 17. He was one of 13 people to share the £25 million jackpot.The former trainee pharmacist from Neilston in Renfrewshire spent his winnings on a new home for his parents, an executive seat at Celtic Park and a new house for himself in secluded Buittle Bridge, in Castle Douglas.He also gave £15,000 to Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow, where his younger brother was treated for a genetic disorder.But in a 2003 interview, he told of the strain of winning the lottery at such a young age.He said: "It was very hard to deal with all the attention I got. I even had people camping outside my house. It put a huge strain on me and my family."On his page on social networking site Bebo, Mr Donnelly admitted that he was scared of socialising and listed his activities as: "Sleeping, watching TV, listening to music, surfing the net. Basically, anything that involves not leaving the house."A message left on the page on Thursday read: "Can't believe you're gone. I'm gonna miss you a hell of a lot. R.I.P"A Dumfries and Galloway police spokesman said there were no suspicious circumstances behind the death and that a post mortem was being arranged.http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100107/tuk-lotto-millionaire-found-dead-6323e80.html

smh talking like being given 7 mill at 17 is bad thing
not necessarily a good thing thoughsure you would be more than financially stable for the rest of your life if you are sensible with it, but it can f*ck u up in other ways, money changes people
real talkactually think about it, i wouldn't have much drive to do anything is alot of what i do is motivated by money (eg going uni for better job, etc.)then again i could strive for things on a higher non-materialistic level
