Question

Have you ever had a close friend or family member win a huge jackpot or Lotto? Did it change him/her?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I don't.

Answer 2

No, I don't have any close friends or family members that won a huge jackpot or lotto.  I know for a fact that if I won, it would not change who I am, but it would make life easier and better for my whole family.  I agree with the other post that said it's a shame it couldn't give that person good health, and it sure couldn't bring back my lost loved ones. All it can do is make the life you have more comfortable.

Answer 3

I have one friend who won $25000 at poker. He payed off his debts and gambled away the rest.

I have another friend who won $25000 on a scratch off. He blew it all in a month on drugs and partying.

They both did what I expected they would. Didn't change 'em at all.

Answer 4

I had a friend that won 6.3 million in the california lottery about ten years ago..she died last year of cancer. Before that it didn't really change her but it did change thier lifestyle.

They were able to be snowbirds and live in the mountains where they are from in the summer and Az. in the winter.

It made her kids act like greedy unbearable jerks, and also some of her friends..that is one of the bummers about winning things like that, the other is.. it obivously could not buy her health or time.

I used to work with a guy who won Pennsylvania's Cash 5.

He won $100,000.

He bought a new car for his wife, a new car for each of his two children, the family took a vacation to Europe, he paid some credit card bills, and by then all the money was gone.
