Matching the tens and getting rich is almost impossible. Some people did it, but ended up with nothing afterwards. It is common to hear the saying that money brings happiness. Although our lives do not depend exclusively on it – we also need health, for example – having a full bank account helps (and a lot!) to ensure a good night’s sleep and a smile on the face.
In view of this, many people look for a quick way to earn money. While working from Monday to Friday, they try to count on their luck to win a lottery bet overnight. With the ever increasing demand for tips on how to choose numbers, websites like GamblingGuy help Gamblers that are trying their luck on a game with offers such as a low deposit online casino bonus.
But for those who win the lottery (and go to collect the prize), sometimes in the online mega sena lottery, life changes completely. Imagine having your bank account suddenly filled with no less than R$160 million? What would you do with so much money? Besides the guaranteed stability, you could buy flats, beach houses, luxury cars, state-of-the-art electronic devices, open your own business and travel the world.
The problem is that some of the millionaires in lotteries around the world have not known how to save their fortunes. They spent as if there was no tomorrow and believed that the money was forever. Sad mistake. Money ends, even if it seems like a lot and infinite. Below is the story of three people who became millionaires but let the prize run out.
Bud Post
In 1988, William Bud Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania Lottery. When he found out about the prize, an old girlfriend sued him and ended up receiving part of the amount. But in addition to an old love who claimed a share of his wealth, Post’s brother hired a hit man to kill him and his wife and inherit the lottery fortune. The winner survived, but a year later his bank account was overdrawn by $1 million. After a year of splurging, Post lived out the rest of his life receiving $450 a month from a social security fund.
Willie Hurt
He was the winner of a $3.1 million Michigan Lottery drawing in 1989. It didn’t take long for the money to go to Hurt’s head. By 1991, he was divorced and had lost custody of his children. In addition, the American was accused of attempted murder after sinking into crack and cocaine addiction. The drugs ended up sucking all the rest of his fortune. Before the money, he had a family and lived with his children. After the prize, Willie ended up losing everything: money, family and friends.
Denise Rossi
Denise received US$ 1.3 million from the California Lottery in 1996. Determined to change her life, she decided not to tell her husband and filed for divorce 11 days after the lottery drawing. Of course, the husband eventually found out about his ex-wife’s plan, who wanted to keep all the money. Two years later, the jilted and hurt husband filed a lawsuit against Denise. The judge in the case decided that the American woman acted in bad faith and condemned her to give not half, but all the prize to her ex-husband.
