* {{Deconstruction}}: PlayedForLaughs. Peter jumps into a pool of gold coins so he can swim in them like [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Scrooge [=McDuck=]]]... only to end up brutally smashing himself instead.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: All the Griffins suffer this upon winning the lottery. Peter is arguably the worst, since he starts paying Quagmire and Joe to perform various humiliating acts, climaxing with him [[EyeScream deliberately shooting Joe's eye out with a BB gun]].

* ConspicuousConsumption: Exaggerated to the point where the Griffins go broke in only one month after winning the lottery. While he buys rounds of beer for his friends and gives people gifts (such as a diamond ring for Lois, hiring a singer for Joe, and giving Quagmire an investment for penis enlargement), Peter also wastes the money on things like:
** Buying a pool full of coins so he can [[PooledFunds dive into it]] ala Scrooge Mc Duck (only to seriously injure himself).
** Buying a solid gold tuxedo.
** Not only buying expensive food, but hiring somebody to give it ''a helicopter tour of the city'' (even the guy being hired to do this wonders why the hell he's doing it).



* EasilyForgiven: Quagmire and Joe forgive Peter ''way'' too easily considering he did such things as shoot them in the throat and eye, respectively, for his own amusement.
** It's worth remembering that Peter did give them money, with Quagmire in particular reaping the rewards from investing in a new penis enhancement pill that has left him greatly endowed. It doesn't justify how he behaved, but he did share his money with them for a time.
** Getting money once doesn't mean you have to do what your rich friend wants to do or forgive them when they go way too far, Peter has a good friend in Quagmire.


Added DiffLines:

* MoneyDumb: Even for somebody like [[TheDitz Peter]], blowing through 150,000,000 dollars in a month is insane. Despite Lois warning him not to go crazy with the money, and the rest of the family spending the money on things that are quite reasonable in comparison, Peter's ConspicuousConsumption reaches ridiculous levels.
