Fire in your Ferrari 458? Expect the unexpected - carscoop
Whether you're a lottery winner or not, everyone needs an emergency fund.
A major car repair, job loss, an accident around your home, costly renovations you didn't expect... all this can make a serious dent in your cash flow.
Most financial planners say you should be putting money away regularly to cover these "rainy day" problems.
But I don't agree.

This is one way to keep the organisers happy and keep your privacy! - 7NEWS
Some lotteries require their winners to appear in publicity photos as part of the contract. But this couple still wanted to retain their privacy after winning Israel Lotto's biggest draw of $20 million in 2010. It worked.

My daughter steadies a climber on the indoor rock face.
The indoor rock climbing instructor was one of those rope-star daredevils.
Long hair, lean athletic body... he looked as if he should be on a vast rock face somewhere - instead of a small 3 storey room sandwiched between an auto parts business and a courier firm.
When you hear an implausible story these days, you're likely to call it an urban myth.
Like children being kidnapped at Disneyland. Or giant albino alligators in New York City's underground sewers. Or kidney thieves. Just doesn't happen.
Back in my teenage years, I heard of another kind of myth from a friend which seemed worth exploring.
He revealed a strange secret in my hometown of Auckland, our biggest city, on the main shopping road known as Queen Street...
Ever had a website you couldn't view? I was once stopped from accessing the Powerball site for months because of an IP block that I couldn't bypass. It sometimes happens for no reason at all - and you're powerless to do anything about it.
Here's a free work-round. Use this anonymous browser: http://anonymouse.org. And yes, there is a cute mouse up there!
I was able to access the Powerball site right from the start. Anonymouse saved my bacon!
UPDATE: A list of 95 more HERE
Would it be as much as $600 A DAY on the Florida Lotto, like Orlando resident Jose Salmon here? He played daily for years, winning $150,000 along the way - but racking up a massive $600,000 debt before eventually winning a share of the $52 million prize.
Would you go that far to win?

The iPhone and offending ultility in her bathroom. Did it survive the long drop?
If you are a bit squeamish, look away now and read another article. Because I'm going to tell you what I did when my wife dropped her iPhone in the toilet.
I've made plenty of mistakes. There was the time I shut the door on a visitor thinking she was a sales person.
Only to find out later - via an official letter from one of our government departments - that she was an official on business. Oops.

My advice to lottery winners is proven here... the February Powerball winner who won $336.4 million - the third largest Powerball jackpot ever - has put her money in a special trust.
The 81 year-old sensibly set up the trust to protect her win on the advice of her attorney. It's just one of several protective measures winners can take to keep their winnings safe.
Imagine this scenario.
You're a lotto ball. Let's say a No.2. Sitting in the barrel, patiently waiting your turn.
But as each week goes by, you're getting more and more concerned.
When you go into a millionaire's library like mine, you expect to find weighty tomes... massively thick leatherbound books on ancient Greek philosophers and collectable art.
