What would you do if you won Lotto? 

It's a question we’ve all asked ourselves. It’s the ultimate get-rich-quick fantasy that the majority of the country can only fantasize over. 

However, ending up with $19 million in your bank account overnight isn’t quite the dream it’s made out to be.  

So what’s the right way to handle a sudden fortune like that? 

Today, NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher joins Damien to discuss how one man’s financial fortune turned into a legal nightmare - and later, Cooking the Books host and BusinessDesk investment editor Frances Cook explains what people can do to avoid a similar fate.
