Even those who would be deemed "responsible" (already somewhat wealthy, otherwise stable) often end up far worse off. It often ends in losing friendships, ties with family, death/kidnapping/blackmail threats both close and far away, endless frivolous lawsuits, financial ruin, etc. The ratio of "happily ever after" stories to horror stories for winning the lottery seems a bit low for my tastes. |

You don’t hear the happily ever after stories because they don’t tend to reach out to the media after a few years and say “Hey! FYI I’m still rich and my life is perfect.”. They’re off enjoying their money somewhere. The scandals seem more common because those are the only situations that really get publicized.
