Quite Overwhelming
$15 million is a lot of money to almost anyone in the working class, but this money especially meant a lot to Laura, specifically now that she would be dealing with a divorce. She knew that she needed to be in a good and healthy mindset before making such a big decision of where and how to spend her money. Everything that was going on in her life was so overwhelming; believe it or not, winning the lottery does come with its own set of struggles!
A Pro
Laura knew that since technically Jack was still her husband, he would likely be entitled to get some of her money. To see how she can be sure to protect as much of her earnings as possible, she hired a lawyer named Jason Kurland. This specific lawyer’s specialty was to help people who had won the lottery, and she told him the entire story from beginning to end, including the letter he left her.
