Emily Irwin, who works for Wells Fargo Bank, advises lottery winners on how to invest their money. Without any guidance, it can be easy to make bad decisions and blow it all, she told Insider. These are her tips for what lottery winners should do to protect their winnings. We want to make sure that lottery winners protect themselves from having to start all over again and avoid that feeling of going through the process of losing everything. I think having a diversified portfolio and reviewing it with your financial and investment advisors is very important.
