It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

    Win lotto and discovering suddenly that your friends and family see you as an ATM has got to be pretty awful. All the people coming out of the woodwork, relatives who were awful suddenly kissing your ass, maybe your kids are idiots who think they no longer need to make any effort to prepare for life, maybe your spouse wants a yacht club or something insane, maybe your neighbour you thought you were pals with suddenly sues you…

    People get brutal and really weird around money. Even if your family is perfect, every new person you meet you gotta wonder are they there for you, or your wallet.

    Aside from that, if you have bad habits your previous broke ass state might have been what was keeping them in check.

    I can see how winning lotto could fuck up someone’s life, from all directions except financial. Like pulling a deep sea fish up to the surface.
