When the first $1 million New York Lottery jackpot came around, I was around 15. $1 million was an absolute fortune back then, and my friend Cliff really wanted us to go in together on some tickets.
But I said no. Even though I always dreamed of making it big, I didn’t want it that way, without any work.
This little story has turned into an ongoing debate in my family:
“If you could take a 'success pill' that would result in the following two scenarios, which would you choose?”
You receive a fortune instantly.
OR
You work really hard for years and eventually become very successful, earning a fortune.
To me, there’s only one right answer.
To me, life is all about the journey, not the destination.
If you somehow manage to beat the odds and win the lottery, you'll most likely have a whole new set of problems to deal with. Life isn't going to get any easier.
Family members and friends will start asking you for money, and there's going to be a lot of pressure as to where you decide to allocate that new money. Just look at some of these stories I came across via an article on Business Insider:
Bud Post lost $16.2 million within a nightmarish year — his own brother put out a hit on him.
William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but was $1 million in debt within a year.
"I wish it never happened," Post said. "It was totally a nightmare."
A former girlfriend successfully sued him for a share of his winnings and his brother was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him in the hopes that he'd inherit a share of the winnings.
After sinking money into various family businesses, Post sank into debt and spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector.
Bud now lives quietly on $450 a month and food stamps.
Lara and Roger Griffiths bought their dream home ... and then life fell apart.
Before they won a $2.76 million lottery jackpot in 2005, Lara and Roger Griffiths hardly ever argued.
Then they won and bought a million-dollar house and a Porsche.
But six years after their win, Roger drove away in the Porsche after Lara confronted him over emails suggesting that he was interested in another woman.
Their 14-year marriage was over, a freak fire gutted their house, and every penny of their fortune was gone.

Good day everyone. I want to quickly use this medium to give my greatest testimony on how I won the lottery. This is something I wanted to talk about before now, since 2015 but I was told not to do so. But today I decided to tell the world.
First my name is Marie Holmes, I’m from coastal North Carolina, a single mother trying to meet ends to support my children with a string of five retail jobs. which makes life so difficult for me. On one faithful day, I met a man called Albert. He saw my status and said he will help me. He asked if I have interest in the lottery? I responded “yes” so he told me about how Dr Marcus made him become who he is today. He gave me Dr Marcus email address and said I should follow his procedure, before he left. When I got home I sent a message to the email address he gave me, and I explained to him my situation. I never got a response from him, after three weeks he responded to my message. He told me what I needed to know and what to do, Which I did. 48 hours later I received his message in the morning. He sent me some numbers and said I should go play Powerball. That I have found favor, I play and I won myself $188 million. The unknown man I came across with changed my life for good all thanks to Dr Marcus as well. Today I decided to share because everybody deserves a chance to become successful in life! Reach Dr Marcus via his email and he will be there for you as well drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348110492028
