The new found rich do not often find life better. The body of a man who won a lump sum of $17 million in Florida was found buried in the yard of a girlfriends boyfriend's backyard. He is believed to have been killed because of his money.
In another news story, a lady won some money in the lottery, purchased a set of wedding rings for herself and her new spouse, took him out to dinner, and then went to a bar to celebrate with some friends. She was ran over by a car just after leaving the bar and died at the scene.
Even some churches find that having received a large cash nonation from a lottery winner is not a good thing. It seems that a sudden influx of ill gotten gains indices the congregation to quit giving and once the large gift is gone, the church can no longer meet it's obligations.
It seems the newly rich can't seem to deal with that much money and end up worse than they were to begin with, or, in some cases, just plin dead.
