    Don't Let the Lottery Ruin Your Life

    About this ebook

    Ever wonder why there is a TV show called The Lottery Ruined My Life? How can winning the lottery ruin your life? Why are there people trying to sue the lottery commission because not only are they broke, but deeper in debt after winning a lottery jackpot? Why do many people who win the lottery go broke within the first year? Watching that show, and reading about these frivolous law suits got me curious about that very topic. I have done several years of research, and I have found several reasons—some very obvious and some not so obvious. The goal of this book is to prevent you from falling into the bankruptcy traps that have caught several people and allow you to truly enjoy the benefits of winning a lottery jackpot and not let it ruin your life.
