I think its really crazy how blessings can turn out to be curses. I wont say that these people are just dumb people because no one really knows what they would do if they where handed a million dollar check. I’m willing to bet none of the people on this list thought they would make the choices they did. HIND SITE IS ALWAYS 50 50, nevertheless I would still love the chance to find out what i would do. I would like to do what Mr. Holloran said he would do but everything is just talk till the check is handed over. Hopefully more people will read of these “curses” so that my chances of winning will improve

I’ve heard it’s quite common for people who win the lottery to end up worse off a year or two later than they did before. I would love to think that it was because of the kind of people who play the lottery and that I am not that kind of person, but I think that is just an arrogant way to think.

I like what Kenny said in that the lottery magnifies who you are, not changes you. It also magnifies who those around you are. You will soon know who your real friends are. Another quote I heard is that we are all messed up people trying to get along with other messed up people. Now, what happens when all that “messed-up-ness” gets magnified??? Well, I think the stories here are great examples of just that.

Luke Pittard is my hero. He’s done what I hope I’d have the sense to do.

Jack Whittaker is the one that is I will just say SAD. I have read his story before and he went off to alot of strip club’s. Story I read regarding the money stolen at strip club. Jack had a liking for a certain dancer. The dancer and her BF conspired to dose Jack with a knockout drug and steal the cash. Which why would you ever have that kinda cash on your possession? Jack also doted on his granddaughter and she OD’d. You give a 16 year old girl $2100 a week allowance? I mean you are just asking for issue’s with that girl. Irresponsibility lead to alot of these people’s trouble’s. Not winning the lottery. My sister worked as a Nanny for a celebrity couple. They made their kid’s all get job’s as teenager’s and gave them allowances for work. Those kid’s are now grown and have never been in new’s for any trouble.

PERSONALLY I have thought about winning lottery. Say a few million. I would put part of it in a college fund drawing a Fixed rate. I would then offer scholarship’s to family member’s such as first cousin’s children. This way give’s my family namesake’s a chance to get a college education and my family name would become more educated with member’s increasing income and living a better life. In other word’s the lottery winning’s would become a seed and hopefully bear fruit generation’s from now.

Some of these responses are a riot!!! I’ve seen ‘Curse of the Lottery’ on TV several times recently, and I keep wondering how did #1 Billie Bob screw up $31 million??? The answer is you can’t fix stupid…. I agree with all who think Luke is a genius. He hasn’t lost anything…in fact, he’s got the best of all worlds–no money problems and work he enjoys. I would love to be in his shoes. And, like Bob, I wish someone would ‘scare the hell out of me.’
