In the United States, nearly 80 billion lotto tickets and scratch cards are sold every year. Overnight these winners find themselves in charge of an astronomical fortune and at the centre of the limelight. A third of winners end up in ruins. So what makes this industry so attractive, and what do the lives of the winners actually look like

  1. I know something is waiting for me, and one day, I shall win the Powerball! The question I have is when will I win the Powerball! I focus on winning the Powerball by manifesting that I will win! I visualize in detail by thinking positive affirmations of winning!

  2. I have already put my plans into place so that I don’t go nuts with all that money

  3. It is always people without no damn sense that won the lottery. Let somebody that has some sense like me win it. Us entrepreneurs have to make our own lottery

  4. The real curse is that after winning the lotto, you end up dying. Too many people who have won the lottery end up dead. Be content with what you have.

  5. If I were David, the first thing I would have done is get rid of Erica. She does nothing but put the guy down. She's horrible and nothing special herself.

  6. Money like that suddenly gives you an unbelievable amount of freedom. The future instantly becomes wide open, and just about everything's feasible.

  7. The problem is that the people who suddenly get loaded by winning the lottery … are the kind of people who play the lottery!!!!!!
    Think about it: what does it mean if you play the lottery?
    It means you probably have very low financial literacy; poor money management skills; an easy-come-easy go attitude towards money generally; and a “something for nothing” view generally.
    So it’s no surprise these people end up wasting the money and screwing up their own lives.
    You could give the money to most people who dont play the lottery and the outcomes would be better.

  8. I dunno, I don't need a 2 million dollar house.
    Why show off …
    I'd be in a nice rancher with a garage.
    I'd be able to afford health insurance finally, because Obamacare was a failure at $786 a month for just me .
    I'd have a reliable car finally.
    I'd eat a lot of steaks.
    I could afford to go to the doctor to get checked.
    That would be nice 👍
