Why do so many lottery winners end up miserable or ruined after winning?

[jennifer_bloom]

There was a Pentecostal minister and grocery clerk who won over 16-33 million dollars in the lottery, way more than what he ever earned as a pastor with a full time minimum wage job, but he spent his money recklessly on lavish gifts and indulgences he could not afford, and two years later, he committed suicide due to depression.

My uncle was a Buddhist who believed in karma, and he said in a a Chinese study of those who won the lottery, 100% of the winners had horrible lives after.

Only one person had a good life after winning the lottery, that particular person gave 100% of their winnings to charity, gave only to those in the deepest financial need, and gave their charity money entirely in secret.

Money is the route of all evil. Money doesn't make any 1 happy. The more u have the more people want. I think the lottery is fixed. But there are very few who slip through and win. And I know what it is that ur talking about. Dont really want to say to much about the winners... but uh, I'll just say this... does the government ever like to give money to us? Especially that much?

The love of money...

So did this minister when he won the money, did he keep being the minister or did he stop?

All their relatives and people they have not seen in years start to bug them for money.

Because, they get money easily, so they don't understand worth of money, instead of investing it, they wasted it...
