Who won the grand prize but lived a miserable life?

In 20 13, the National Foundation for Financial Education (UNEF) studied the lottery winners who won the grand prize, and found that 70% of the winners went bankrupt within 7 years. So many people won the grand prize, but they had a miserable life.

1. A man in Canada bought a $2 lottery ticket seven years ago and won the grand prize of100000.

Under the influence of some friends, Gerald began to take drugs and drink alcohol. In this luxurious life, Gerald's "ten million windfalls" gradually lost like water.

In just seven years, Gerrard completely lost his windfall of $65,438+million. From June 5438 to October 2005, Gerald, penniless, hanged himself in his parents' garage and ended his life with a rope.

2. Wins Taylor, a 48-year-old man from Redcar, Cleveland, England, is the luckiest man in the world, because he won two lottery prizes in five years, including 6.5438+0.42 million pounds.

However, due to the failure of investment, he lost everything in a few years, owed a lot of foreign debts, and became a poor man with nothing. In order to pay off debts and support the family, Taylor, who once tasted "millionaire", had to return to his old job and become a mason.

3. The British 17 girl was addicted to plastic surgery after winning the grand prize, and finally fell into emptiness and could not make true friends.

4.26-year-old McKee Carroll was originally a garbage worker in Britain. In 2002, he won a prize of 9.7 million pounds, and he became a super millionaire from a poor boy. After winning the prize, McKee began to buy luxury cars lavishly, and he was also infected with bad habits such as drug abuse and prostitution. In just eight years, he squandered this wealth and had to live on welfare. His wife and children were separated.

Winning the grand prize itself is a good thing, but whether it is a good thing or a bad thing in the end depends on how the parties deal with it.
