I’ve heard these types of stories on the news and it always confounds me. I wonder if there is any research that points to prior gambling problems before winning the Lotto?

This is just a sad example. I once saw an article about a guy that put over half of his earnings into a risky business venture. It was just a downhill spiral from there. When the money started working for him his investment started to get return so he decided to invest in more risky investments. Finally his first investment tanked. Then his other investments started to go under. Long story short, he now lives in a mobile home in Kentucky. It’s kind of sad. I can’t say it won’t happen to me, but I don’t see how you could spend all of that money.

Isn’t that life in generally? One moment you’re on top of the world, the next in the bottom of the well. The wonderful thing about American’s is we’re always ready for one last comeback.
