If you look at peoplee who won large lottery jackpots you'll find an answer. People who had nothing when they won don't have much 5 or 10 years later. Many winners tend to blow through their winnings quickly.

It's been said that poverty is a state of mind, not a financial circumstance; and such people, including LAPD-lotto winner Rodney King, are a perfect example of this fact.
