humans can change, its just the 90% will make their situation worse given free will lol. not even winning the actual lotto is helpful for many people lol.

I just can't fathom winning the lottery and somehow spending it all.

Like, how hard is it to google an accounting firm and be like "Hey, I just won the lottery. I have XXX money, or XXX money every YYY months and I need an accountant to help me. If you aren't equipped to deal with an estate this size can you reference me to a firm that does?"

Boom, 99% of their problems solved.

It's not hard to recognize when you're out of your area of expertise and gonna fuck everything up.

have you ever had a bag of skittles and at first youre tossing like 3-5 in your mouth at a time. then as you shake the bag only to realize there's like 4 left you put them in 1 at a time sucking them like hard candy and savoring each last one?

that's what winning the lotto is. u buy houses for relatives, you clear people's medical debt, you buy a house, car, etc. then even though you're debt free tax time leaves u broke.

i wouldnt personally do it with 20 million $, but i do it with skittles every time. so i get the behavior.

I don't do that when I eat something like skittles lol

Guess I'm just a different animal. The first thing that happens when I get a big responsibility is retreat and try to research every way I can fuck it up, so I avoid that.

Well most people.

Locus of control is what is important imo.
