I hear it's safer to never win




I doubt that, my guess is that winning would just amplify whatever you already are.. If you're terrible with money and irresponsible , you'll just piss away the $$ and wind up further in debt.. If you're more of a 'saver' and pretty good with $$, you'll probably do well and have money left over to help your loved ones and take care of charities that you support.

Yes. Not the overall jackpot, but winnings with multiple commas.

We hit 4 numbers for a measly $50 a couple of times on LA Lottery.

I knew a guy that won about $60,000 at Victoryland's old casino in Shorter, AL near Montgomery. Baw was unemployed but bought a brand new F-350 with the money.

In the mid 90's, I worked a little grocery store in Central. I watched a regular customer scratch and win $25000 and about a year later, her husband scratched off and won a truck. It was ugly as hell, a little S-10 painted orange with Hot Sauce stickers all over it, but he won it.

I know someone who won a $10 million personal injury lawsuit. A lottery ticket of sorts that cost him his legs to purchase.

Son of friend won $8 million before tax. He was 22.
Brightened his propects and made life better for patents. No downside.
