I happened upon a TV program entitled "Cursed," about people who had won the Powerball. The first segment was about Jack Whittaker, who won the $300+ Powerball. (He is here in WV where I am located.) Needless to say, he went wild, getting in and out of trouble, being robbed at the "Pink Pony" strip club. His granddaughter's boyfriend was found dead from a drug overdose, then later her body was found near a dumpster. His own daughter killed herself. His wife, who divorced him, said if she had known the heartache they would experience, she would have torn up the ticket.

That said, it seems obvious that these people lacked any moral foundation, but who knows how such unexpected wealth would affect us?
Personally, I would help many people.
