I remember listening to a talk radio about 10 years ago going through Ohio and a man called in and said his uncle had one the lottery 2 years before but donated every last cent to charity because he was tired of the same things this article describes.

I've always felt that some people are simply physically unable to handle large amounts of money. The closest analogy I've been able to come up with is the "buck fever" that inexperienced hunters sometimes get when they get a nice buck lined up in their sights.

It just goes to show you that wisdom is a rare thing.

People like that are truly my heroes. The charities benefit and they benefit too. I just wish I were strong enough to do the same thing if I were put in the same position.
