    I don’t.

    Unless you’re very careful, you lose all your poor friends.

    You also can’t make any rich friends because you’re not actually rich, you just have tons of money.

    You’re life is basically ruined.

    No. Too many winners ended up as suicide victims, murder victims and insane asylum victims.

    “No. Too many winners ended up as suicide victims, murder victims and insane asylum victims. ”

    But a few hundred million dollars would pay for a whole team of live-in psychologists to keep you mentally and emotionally stable. And you could have your own private Yeshiva as well.

    If I won the lottery I could afford to sponsor more than ten posters.

    People go crazy because they arent careful with the money. if I win I wouldnt tell anyone except my immediate family members and possible some close friends. i’d put most of it in savings and only be able to use a certain amount each year. and i’d give a lot of anonymous tzedaka.

    Many of those who won and went crazy were a result of in-family fighting with their spouse or other family members.

    You don’t lose friends, you find out who your friends are.

    Does anyone remember the famous story of the Chofetz Chaim when he found out his rebbetzin bought a lottery ticket, not having known he was opposed to purchase them, promised if he win he’d donate the entire winnings to tzedaka (or the yeshiva?)

    We don’t all have jobs and families, Jakob. Those aren’t prizes they hand out to people who don’t have money.
