One Lottery Winner

[wishinandhopin]

I heard on the news there was only one winner in the Mega Millions Lottery. The winner lives in New Jersey. The amount they won? $212 million! I forgot to buy a ticket. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Woe that's a lot of money.

That's what pisses me off with the whole lotto thing.... With that kind of money being up for grabs why give it all to 1 person... spread it out.... let 5 or so win together...... change the lives of 5 or so rather than the life of 1..... :cussing:

Although I did buy a ticket too :laughing: ...... Not even a lousy $1 back... LOL... Can't wait until my day comes for millions......... :cheers:

If you ever read the after-stories of lottery winners, you'll realize that winning has not been a good thing for most. Most either ended up worse off than they were before, committed suicide, ended up in jail for one thing or another, ended up on welfare, and what not.

As much as many people think they can handle that much money, history shows that most can't--it changes them and makes them do things they never thought they'd do.

So, for the most part, winning the lottery hasn't been life-changing for most.

So, instead, be thankful for all the things that you are blessed with.
