A magazine did a story on people who won large prizes years ago (before lotteries were so prevalent) and it was amazing, not only how many of them had spent it all and were seriously in debt, but how many of them died an unnatural death within a year or two of winning.
In one contest, 12 heavily customized Oldsmobile Toronados were given away (back in 1967) and all but one or two had been wrecked within a year or so of being given away. I guess my Dad was right when he said "easy come, easy go".
