Winning the lottery and becoming rich overnight is the dream of many people, but most of them don’t seem to end well. A single mother in the United States won nearly 800,000 pounds (approximately NT$31.6 million) by buying lottery tickets, but the money ruined her life. She lost everything in just 4 years.
According to the Eagle Tribune, Lisa Arcand bought a lottery ticket in the past and won a prize of up to 800,000 pounds. She began to enjoy the wealth, including hosting lavish parties for friends and family, and sending her son to a private school. To go to school, the annual tuition fee is 7,800 pounds (approximately NT$310,000). However, the seafood restaurant she ran ran into financial difficulties and closed down within 6 months.
The report pointed out that at that time, the lottery industry recommended that the winner receive 25,000 pounds (approximately NT$990,000) in installments each year instead of receiving it all at once. However, Lisa listened to the promise of a financial company, but unexpectedly she lost even more. money. In fact, Lisa used the money to take several vacations and buy a new furnished house, but these did not cause a financial crisis. She said in 2007 that the experience was disappointing. “Winning the lottery was not all it was cracked up to be, it was actually very frustrating,” she said.
