Have you ever thought… if I were to win the lottery, then…things would be easy and I would have the freedom to do what I want…
Lottery winners tend to spend all their money, no matter how much they win. Though a lottery winner may feel like they have unlimited freedom, they often become paranoid or struggle to balance the freedom they do have. “‘People who are just ordinary people suddenly become extraordinary,’ but they tend lose all sense of reality.
