People die from heart attack when they hit the jackpot.

[arwin100]

After reading this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311851.0 I got curious about people who died from heart attack when winning a huge amount on lottery and I'm quite surprised that there are so many documented cases about this situation. And will give you only pic so its up to you guys if you want to read all the articles that you can find on google, just search "lottery winners who died from heart attack". I feel sorry about their situation since instead of being lucky they turn out to be the most unlucky person by the time they hit the jackpot since they die without enjoying it.

If this luck come to us guys we need to chill out and save our hearts,   We need to enjoy our wealth so don't get panic to enjoy the winning amount.

So much happiness in life! Which proves that anything of too much (even happiness) is bad in life! When people participate in lotteries, instead of thinking that they are just doing it for entertainment and won't win, they should actually hope they win and expect a very little chance at that. And plan what they will be doing with the money if they win.

Because, even if then they win, that hope and plans can somewhat reduce the shock factor that might cause such lethal consequence!

Well, I say, it's a risk I'm willing to take. So, lady fortune, hit me!

Life is really harsh.

I am kind of also envious of those people winning those huge amounts of money not realizing these sides of that story. Another thing is that it is my first time that I heard those people that died because of the surprise or their heart not able to take that shock. I mean, the percentage is so low. I would be surprised too but not at the point that I would be dying because of it. Man! just imagine how bad they feel if they knew they died after winning the lottery. So, did they still get their prize? I mean did their family get it? Or is there another beneficiary of that win when that happens?

Well, I guess their heirs inherited the winnings. I don't think anyone else could inherit the money and there is no reason for a game organizer to deny a win.

[Oasisman]

That I guess is the negative reaction of the human body who already had history on heart disease (some might be too mild that It goes unnoticed) who got overwhelmed with happiness, excitement, and surprise. All of this is a product of an unhealthy lifestyle, though some are hereditary but is being abused by unhealthy lifestyle as well.

Well, I don't know If how are the family members are able to process and claim the winning amount If this person who just won died after learning that his ticket had the jackpot.

Too shock, too surprise.

It is similar to when people scare other people and they tend to put their hand to their chest cause of that, but in this case, this is too unpredictable and many things coming into their mind at the same time living them breathless, and the condition is just worsen. No offense, but its bye bye if that happen.

The winning maybe just the go sign to trigger the heart attack when it can occur anytime in their life. Its just the catalyst in their heart problems.

Just take a deep breath and relax if you will hit the jackpot on the lottery.

That is too much emotion that you can't control and it seems your adrenaline climbing fast, of course, your heart beating so fast and can't able to manage too much blood that pumped. So, relax and take it easy when you win the lottery and set a plan before you will claim the prize, you should have someone with you so whatever happens to you they can help you.

Sad to them, they will never enjoy the money that they had won because of missed handling of emotion.
This will I guess will help them, https://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2012/02/11/10-things-to-do-when-you-win-the-powerball

It is the most brutal way to die, when you have all the money in the world which you are dreaming to make for decades but you cannot do anything about it. I have heard about people winning lotteries but i never looked too deep into their background or what they do with the money and usually these unexpected money could destroy a person but to die before enjoying the perks is a harsh reality.
Anyone taking a big lottery needs to have a full body checkup so that they do not die of heart attack if they win .

There was an incident where someone dies because of a heart attack when Manny Pacquiao won the match with a knockout. So this kind of incident is possible too especially when you don't expect what really happens next. It's best to practice self caution and calmness in everything we do and check our health and also the food we ate. We don't really know how people faced their doom when in this kind of situation but as you can see, we sometimes experience this when we are both happy and excited. Our blood will run in our veins so fast that sometimes it cannot bear anymore which will mostly the case for these persons when they became excited.

[Yamifoud]

Horrible thing...
The question is who gonna get the winning prize if that happens? I'd doubt if any from the family could able to claim the jackpot prize. That to be lucky on that day but somehow it difficult to accept that someone should have to die because of joy. Maybe we can say that it is better he did not win, probably he's still alive.

This is to warn people who have a heart problem, it might good for them to control their emotions and not to over-joy because this might be their end.

Basically, no-one will die becasue of good news in my opinion, those who have died during be announced to be the lucky winners probably are those who have already developed heart decease. The heart failures could happen or trigger in anyone who have the problem irrespective of the news (either it be a bad or good news in life). Most of these gamblers who are international sometimes make some mistake by not understanding their body system, it is very important to have body check-up becasue of the huge amount of money involve in jackpots.

[FlightyPouch]

That is just horrible. I mean that would take a lot of luck just to win that huge amount of prize. It is just like they ran out of luck the time that they won the lottery. I think people should really be careful and should also look after themselves when betting in these lotteries. It makes me sad how people are so desperate to win and then this happens.

[Russlenat]

I hope I would win when I'm not old enough that I'm already so emotional.

Being a gambler, I have experience losing big and winning big, so I think my heart is well trained enough to accept big winnings and it will never fail, 

Winning in lottery is usually a life changing, how can we change if we die, we must be clever and able to control our emotion.
We don't know if our time will come that we win a jackpot but at least we should be ready with his possibility.

[kryptqnick]

It seems that millions of people win the lotteries every year, so if there are even hundreds of documented cases, it's not really that much.
And as for the search results, they're not actually all about people who died from heart attack because of hearing about the results.
For instance, Melissa Ede won a lottery in 2018 or earlier, but died due to bullying in 2019.
The man who dies "after winning" a lottery dies weeks after these events.
As for Bill Morgan, he first had a heart attack because of a car crash, and then won the lottery.
So it's actually not that easy to find cases where the heart attack was indeed triggered by winning the lottery.

[robelneo]

A heart attack is a traitor you never know when it will hit you or if you have it, only when something triggers it that you'll know that you already have it, it's very important to detect it especially if you are exposed or you are going to be exposed on feelings that will have a lot of excitement to much joy and excitement can cause a heart attack if you are betting then you must understand that when the time comes you know how to react to it, we should not bet and not hope that it will not hit the jackpot.

That's tragic and heartbreaking but maybe, that's their fate. We can't say that they should've controlled their emotions because if we're in their situation, it might also be hard for us to contain the happiness that we may feel.
That's also the reason why people with heart disease are actually advised to handle their emotions well.

[lienfaye]

Hitting a jackpot is a happiest moment of being a gambler. However its a must to stay calm (although sometimes its inevitable) specially for gamblers who have a heart problem.

Its sad knowing you win but you cant even enjoy your winnings because of the unfortunate incident happened to you.

We need to control our emotions to avoid such thing to happen.

[xandry]

So, did they still get their prize? I mean did their family get it? Or is there another beneficiary of that win when that happens?

Most of them died after some time of big winnings, so it can be assumed that the money had already passed to them in the bank account. Money in a bank account is hereditary unless the will says something else.

[Japinat]

If we know this would happen, we would wish we did not win a lottery.

Winning and losing always have some bad effect to some people, so I guess for those who have heart problem, they should not gamble.

A lottery bettor's expectation to win is very low, since in reality the chance of winning is very slim, so maybe since we have not seen it coming, it surprised us and our weak heart was not able to handle the enormous happiness we felt.
