So, true and almost too sad to laugh.
For me, it replaces faith. I want to tell anyone buying a ticket and I might still do it, "I never have to pay to win money. I just ask God for what I need." |
The root of the problem is that these people believe money can help them overcome their problems. The hidden statistics show that most blue-collar multi-million-dollar prize winners are broke or even worse in a few years. All this does is demonstrate greed and folly. It certainly doesn't help the average person. If somebody can't handle the money that they already have, putting more money into their hands will not make them a better money manager.
