Cant I just do the generic way of investment? Just spread 50% of my my winnings on a bunch of index funds from multiple brokers(in case a broker fails). Then the other 50% you spread on government and corporate bonds. Lets say interest rate is 5%, you take like 2% as your income. Reinvest the 3% back so you keep up with inflation considering you are not touching your stock portfolio.

Is this wrong? is this not enough? Why hire anyone? What is there to do with advisors/lawyers? Is there some secret sauce to magically double my money? And even then, I very much doubt that, and Im more willing to safeguard my capital than to take stupid risks just to make more money. I'm already set for life, why take more risk just to make more money, especially if the consequence is losing all that money and back to being poor.
