Heh i remember one more story, not interesting much, but real! My friend was working in one shop (little supermarket) near beach in Spain. Time to time was coming there guy who was walking along the beach and was selling donuts. One day when my friend was closing shop, comes this guy and want to check his ticket. My friend told him that he is stupid and for sure have nothing. But he really insists! Finally checks his ticket.. and 1st prize. The next day disappeared, and no one no more saw him.. It happens around 10 years ago.
Well its a nice story and well those could happen to anyone that keep playing loteries,but well the odds of that happen is a nightmare,and a dream for those who win.
Yeah lotteries are bad.
The chances of winning are very slim and even if you do win. Most millionairs from lotteries blow their money in a few months or years and go back to the life they had before.
That is true, we have a lot of these cases here in Brazil, that winners from favela's become poor again in a matter of months due to the lack of financial administration and bad education / instruction.
It is not easy to manage a bunch of money suddenly for somebody without knowledge.
Anywhere Brazil or any other country when the person who win gets not financial control of their money,they will waste all the prize and return to their life and some of them return to their life worse then when they had won the loterie.The lack of knowhow,makes the most become poor very fast ,some people spend milions in less then 6 months,its insane to i wanna buy ferrari a new house i can get womans,i can go parties i can borrow some money to family or friend,in the end will end without nothing,spending more then are earning.
