Another example that sudden wealth is not always a good thing.
Having a lot of money in of itself can destroy a person. Unless they are prepared for the problems money can bring they will end up worse off then before they gained the wealth.
Good examples are children that inherit wealth, or an athletic, or someone in entertainment. How many stories have there been of someone who has “earned” millions of dollars only to end up broke.
Which is the reason I don’t play the lottery, I am afraid I might win.
I’ve never heard it put that way before. I like it. It reminds me of this: Proverbs 30:8b-9 ...give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
