From Riches to Rags
Why is it that you hear about people who win millions of
dollars in the lottery and then end up penniless? The painful truth is
that many people get in over their heads when they win the lottery.
Sometimes they end up paying for it for the rest of their lives.
How have lottery winners lost their money? Some simply spent
too freely and quickly, spending money as if it were endless. Many
gave huge sums to family and friends, either as gifts or loans. Some
bought houses and cars, took big vacations, and spent their money in
wasteful ways. Others lost their winnings through carelessness. One
lottery winner won $114 million but spent it all quickly. He claims that
the lottery ruined his life.
Many thoughtful winners, though, have tried to do good with
their money. However, overly large donations to charities, schools,
and churches left some lottery winners with very little money. Other
winners started businesses that were unsuccessful and lost lots of
money in the business.
However, not all lottery winners have lost their millions. Some,
such as Luke Pittard of Wales, returned to their jobs! He missed his
coworkers. Said Pittard about his workmates, “They all think I’m a bit
mad, but I tell them there’s more to life than money.” With that kind
of attitude, it’s no wonder that at least one former lottery winner is still
just that—a winner.
