What would you do if you won millions of dollars on the lottery?
Most people have a shopping list in their heads and dream of what they would do if they won big. Most people also believe that all their financial challenges would dissolve and that as a consequence of winning they would lead happier lives with financial security assured.
Indeed many people who have won major lottery prizes do. But this book is not about those people. This book is about those who have won major lotteries and lost it all again ending up worse than they were before their win. A true examination of the darker side of lottery wins.
Can you imagine winning a net $27 million after tax only to find yourself living in squalor and broke less than five years later? Or after banking $12 million from a lottery win being broke and delivering coal for $12 an hour three years later?
There are seventeen true stories, about how and why ordinary everyday people who won the lottery lost it all and more. Reckless spending, ruined relationships, kidnap, murder, suicide and theft are elements amongst these true stories with direct quotes and references from those involved.
Be careful of what you wish for, because all that glitters is not always gold.
