Day 11,
Still feeling fine, although I have been thinking about the lottery a lot lately. I still do buy scratchers and it still isn’t a problem, but I have been viewing winning a large sum of money as a sort of bad thing lately. I have read countless stories about people winning the lottery, only to have their lives destroyed. I think this has a lot to do with people who play the lottery are not generally the best with money, so when they come into the possession of a large amount of money, they don’t really know how to handle it and go crazy. Also, the stories about family and friends acting differently towards you makes my stomach cringe. The worst for me though is if by some miracle you do win, you have to come forward to claim it here in the US. As far as I know, you cannot remain fully anonymous, and that would worry me. Next time I buy a powerball ticket, I will think about this. Hope everyone is having a good gambling free healthy day.
