I would neither celebrate nor touch that ticket. Coming into a windfall of money like that would make my life miserable. Everyone would feel entitled to your money because you didn’t earn it. They would hate you for having things you didn’t earn, for not giving them a cut. You wouldn’t have a feeling of accomplishment for anything you have. You’d always wonder if your friends liked you or just your money…

I’m serious. I’ve thought about this before. I don’t play the lottery. I wouldn’t want to win. So many lottery winners wind up miserable and/or broke.
