This is a pretty common story for lotto winners.

Has the lottery really helped anyone since its inception?

State-sponsored gambling should end.

Of course it has helped. Selling pipe-dreams to the poor is the cornerstone of liberal America. Just look at the profits the States rake in. Thanks poor of America, without you we would have to work for it instead.

It has done some wonderful things for most of the winners. You will never hear about it, though, because there are too many that go nuts and lose it all because they are losers at heart. I love the story of the group of Vietnamese workers at a meat packing plant in Nebraska who won 10 or 15 years ago.
