I followed some links to what has happened to some of the lottery winners. Several kidnappings in there. “Befriended” by people, embezzelded and killed, long-term cynide poisoning, drug o.d. and booze, etc.

Boy - I’m glad none of my tickets won!

The kidnapping thing could be real bad - but I don’t know. I’m guessing it is more the stupidity of the victims hanging out with the wrong kinds of people. There are lots of multi-millonaires in the country - why aren’t there kidnappings of their kids? I suppose maybe it is the kidnappers that are stupid.

One guy got buried in the cement.I think it was like the day he won or something like that. I don’t think they ever proved who did it.

Actually, I was kind of glad that my ticket didn’t win. I don’t normally play, but it was huge fun planning on what I would do with the money. Cheap entertainment.

I got all of my family and co-workers out of debt and set up a great charity foundation. But the repercussions could be deadly.

Maybe I’ll just play for a smaller jackpot that would be low key and secure my future. I could always do the same things...just on a smaller scale. Besides...balancing a bank statement would be a b1tch. :)
