A woman who kept her huge lottery win a secret from her husband for eight years says she was forced to come clean after he spotted a text on her phone. Posting to Reddit, anonymous winner said that she had scooped the $480,000 jackpot before she married her childhood sweetheart.
Worried that the cash would "turn their lives upside down" and knowing that her partner would likely squander the cash, she made the decision not to tell him. Because she was still 'legally single', there was also no obligation for her to declare her assets, and so she deposited her winnings into a new bank account.
Instead of going on a spending spree, the money-savvy woman wisely invested in an energy company - which doubled her funds to $1million. As reported by the Mirror, she wrote: "My husband has a tendency to spend on things we don't need and that aren't going to benefit us in the long run so I didn't want our money to be blown quickly on stupid stuff like cars and clothes.
"I opened a new bank account with a national credit union and put the check in. Got started with a financial advisor (Keith), who guided me into investing in local businesses and real estate. And that's that. It's been sitting there since, just growing."
But after eight years of keeping the cash under wraps, she said husband Mike was left stunned after noticing a text from her secret financial advisor. She said: "I'm doing dishes getting ready to start making dinner, and my phone rings. I can't get to it but figure I'll call them back.
"Then I get a text. No big deal. I'll get to it in a minute....but husband came into the kitchen and glanced at my phone to let me know who text me and called me, which he always does if my hands are full.
"It's Keith. He called and text
