One of the most important things a new winner will do is sit down and speak with a financial planner to guide them through the process – after all, the life they knew is forever changed. One such planner is Eoin McGee, founder of Prosperous Financial Services, who visits the Money Talks studio this week to pull back the curtain on the admin of cashing in a golden ticket, and the perhaps unexpected existential pressures that come with it.
