Cases of dieing before even getting to receive the amount one has won in a bet is increasing by the day with some gamblers staking to win an amount that's above what Thier emotion can carry and when they win, some faint and die instantly because they've not seen such amount of money in their account
An incidence that happened recently as shown in the picture below where a gambler collapse and later died after winning $2.5k on his bet sparks the question;
1. Do you stake to win an amount you're not emotionally ready to receive?
2. How much can come into your account at a spot that can cause you to collapse instantly
3. How can we prepare for cases where you suddenly win a jackpot that's huge and you know that your mind can't carry that amount of money?

The result usually is extreme distress or panic over unforeseen setbacks. It often makes many gamblers lose their emotional endurance. And the feeling of happiness by winning swiftly changes into fear. Because the loss of valuable cash is perceived and noticed. To minimize these risks Financial planning is thus required. Players should determine their savings plan that befits them considering their level of financial stability and emotional capabilities. and a plan on how to handle huge wins, for instance, by seeking the advice of a financial advisor. Mindfulness techniques also help individuals better manage their emotions. At the company level Developing good business practice is very essential. Raise awareness of the emotional impact and provide mental health support in the pursuit of higher and lower-level satisfaction. Greatly discuss money management and social programs that invoke significant financial literacy to prepare the recipients of unbelievable wealth with ideal ideas. Engage on these two psychosocial factors to make sure they approach the place with the perfect idea. Reduce chances of side effects and promote responsible conduct.
The real question here is.
What happened with the money?
The casino keeps the 4.2M or the family of the victim, or the police, or the gov?
In theory the family should keep the money but since it's a big amount, everyone will try to keep it, for sure the casino and the police will fight for it.
And this isn't normal, i don't think a big win like this could kill anyone, the gambler must have some health issues for this to happen, a healthy gambler will never suffer a heart attack.
I think winning such a huge amount is never a threat that we will end up with a heart attack. That can only happen if we have unstable heart condition but we still push into gambling activities that could put our heart at risk of malfunctioning. So most probably, the gambler who died, although given the fact that he was shocked with his winning amount, that leads to complicate his heart due to unable to balance his emotions, added also that he might be experiencing some other serious conditions that will affect immediately the function of his heart.
As we know, depressing health conditions don't increase depression, but increase. However, the serious impact strong emotions can have on people who already do not have problems with their heart. We should not forget this. The much money can provoke some really bad feelings-excitements and uncertainty. as well as anxiety, which can even overwhelm a person and cause negative physiological responses.
Actually, satisfaction is closely linked with strong feelings, and not everyone can sustain such stress. Understand your state of mind and emotional well-being as well as your physical health as it may be necessary to reduce risk. Making gamblers sensitive to their emotional and physical well-being may create a safe gambling experience.
