“Nearly 70% of lottery winners end up broke within seven years. Even worse, several winners have died tragically or witnessed those close to them suffer.”
Let's not confuse correlation with causation. Money, in and of itself is inanimate and only has the power over us that we allow it to have.
My opinion of the happenings you describe is that people who have very low money management skills play the lottery more often that those who have high money management skills.
If people with low money management skills play the lottery more often, the odds are that they will win more often, and given that they don't know how to manage money, poor choices are made.
As to the folks who have a great tragedy happen after winning, who's to say the tragedy would not have happened anyway. In this instance, the winnings are actually a blessing that helps the survivors of the tragedy move on.
Just my humble opinion.
Christ turned over the tax tables. Nuf said.
Democrats created the IRS tax tables. That is unbiblical devil’s work.
