People die from heart attack when they hit the jackpot.

[Fredomago]

I really agree that this cannot be prevented. Well, not unless the winner and the people around them are already aware of heart issue and any health condition in general of the winner. Then, they could anticipate and somehow brief and prepare the winner upon informing him with the turn of events. But other than that, I do not know how to somehow try to control these type of things or events. Better yet, everybody just have to know the essence of taking care of their body, right?

Most people who are buying ticket lottery hope to win the jackpot, and they never think that someday they can win huge money. Some of them will be ready to receive the money, but some are not ready, which makes them a heart attack. At that moment, every people who know that they won huge money will shock and do not know what they need to do. Instead, to calm down, people who have heart disease will not contain the excitement, and they can get a heart attack. Yes, we need to take care of our bodies, so if we are the lottery winner, we can accept the money and enjoy it.

There's also incidents of cardiakaresst where even a healthy person dies with heart attack, they are concern with their health but
because of this unexpected win.

They've got excited and ended up dying, if you are betting or if you are participating with this kind of betting, make sure
that you are well prepared in case you get the winning combinations and hit the jackpot, you'll be able to enjoy all your money
without losing your life.

This is a sad reality because most of Lottery Fans are people with ages in older level , we cannot often see people with young ages who loves Lottery .

More than even my friends are  not into this gambling (But i don't consider myself as old lol)

and also how can this be fun when you won a over highest Money but you cannot even enjoy to use this?

Most of the older people who keeps spending on lotteries begin it from the young age. In my opinion it isn't addiction. From the young age onwards it has termed to be a habit to spend regularly on lotteries. Even now in my locality there are people in the age of 25-35 spending regularly on lottery.

Its not bad to spend up money on lottery tickets regardless on what age you do have as long you are capable on doing so plus its not really that much expensive
for it to bother or making you broke unless if you do purchase tons on daily basis then that would be an another story but if you do just buy one or two in a single
day in constant manner then that wouldnt hurt your finances.Its not that it cant be called as addiction but both habit and addiction could really be collided with
this kind of behavior.For heart attack thing then this is usually common into those who are old and have some sickness that they do carry for long time.
Having a healthy body and in good shape wont really be easily get end up like this.

I cannot imagine how if the minors winning the jackpot. What they will do because I think they need to verify if they are already 18 years old. I don't think that the casino will accept that and give the money since they are still young.

Suppose a minor wins the jackpot do you think that he or she cannot find any elder to help him cash out.

You call them as a habit to purchase a lottery on a regular basis but majority will say it is an addiction . I do take lottery and gamble but not on a regular basis, just happy to do that once in a while rather than becoming addicted.

It's still doesn't have to do with old age. Why it seems the old are the only one that wins the lottery is because the have more patience than some young people whom are too eager for success.

But again, I still think the heart attack could be as a result of too much of unexpected joy or a mere coincidence.

[suzanne5223]

It seems strange for me to participate in lotteries. The chance of winning is minimal, in fact it is not real. There is not even a sense of excitement. I read an article that almost everyone who wins a lottery loses that money because they don't know money management.

The chance of winning in a lottery is 1 out 13,983,816 but I don't understand what you consider not to be real, is it the fact that gambler in the subject win big for the first or because he dies? Which all the information provided by the OP proof it to be absolute truth.
Having said that, gambling is not for everybody but some people seem to ignore that fact.

Well, I don't know how to calculate that into a percentage, all I know that the chances of winning in the lottery are very small. So if you will win, considering that you are lucky enough for this because there are thousands the same as you who put a bet but did not able to win. I understand people why keep coming into the lottery, they are hoping that someday when luck was there, it will automatically change their lifestyle once they will hit the jackpot, and most of us want financial freedom which is very blessing if you will win.

The chance of winning in every gambling game will always be 0.1-1% but what make lottery, crash game, dice etc  to be different is that they are totally a luck base game because no strategy or knowledge is involve in the and consider lottery to be much fair because a gambler can spend $2 on her ticket and become a millionaire.
Having said that, it is good to have the impression of winning the game but buzz should be put under control.

Wow, it is surprising for me personally although it may be usual in the crypto market.
But, it means that the people are not ready with their own emotions and also condition.
Sometimes, not only a sad story that can make someone suffer or being dead but also something very over happy that can cause a heart attack. Probably it is because also the medical condition previously from those people. So, we cannot blame them. However actually, if they have certain medical conditions that risk highly, it is not suggested to join in such gambling.

I agree that people with medical conditions should avoid joining the lottery, because the lottery will give him a surprise in the end. And this can have
fatal consequences, such as several events that occur when people die from heart attack when they win the lottery. Let us remind the people closest
to us who do have heart disease not to take part in the lottery, because sometimes people who have heart disease are stubborn. In fact, always
consume less healthy foods.

It is our duty to educate people who do have health problems. And usually people who have heart disease are old people. So it is prone to join
the lottery, although if they insist on taking part in the lottery, they can represent it to the closest person who does have a good health condition.

Most of the revenue from the sale of the lottery tickets goes to the government and only a small fraction ends up in the hand of the winner. And even from that amount, you can expect a tax cut of 60% or more. But the proportion will depend on the game and tax rules. For example, in the US in most cases less than 10% of the revenue is given as prize money, after the government cut and taxes. On the other hand, in the UAE, this is close to 100%.

That is if you get the lump sum in one go although that is the better option too. Most revenue from state sponsored lottery are used for creating projects although that part is debatable as most government are corrupt enough to misuse the lottery revenue to useless projects. In the case of US, they have a lot of lotteries going around the country which explains why they get a lot of money from these winners, not to mention that the taxes in US is a lot higher than most countries.

i dont believe that lottery can kill all people with heart related problems but i more believe on that if its their time to die they will die . if they dont bet on lottery other events can give them heavy emotions that can causes them to die .

if they are not destined to die yet and if they have already have a heart problem but they are in poor and needs medication , they can bet on the lottery for the hopes of winning a cash that can help them sustain their life .

Suppose a minor wins the jackpot do you think that he or she cannot find any elder to help him cash out.

They must search for the elder to help them cash out, but if that is at the offline gambling places, they will find it hard to prove it because the casino will not allow the minors to play gambling or cash out their winning money.

Before the minors enter the gambling places, they must know the rule below 18 years old prohibits playing gambling. So that will make them difficult to cash out the money.

If they win on online gambling websites, they can ask their parents or brothers above 18 years old to help them. But I don't know how the adult will react about their winning because they see their children playing gambling and fortunately, they are winning some money. Perhaps, they will help the minors cash out, but they will warn them not to play gambling again.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Yes high taxes on the winnings is a big problem for me, too. As far as I know my country doesn't have a progressive tax rate. The tax seems to be fixed. But it's still pretty big. Although most of the winnings stay with the winner.

No matter how much the rate is, I don't think that double taxation is fair. If they want to tax the winners, then they should not tax the ticket sales. Now what happens is that first they tax the lottery ticket sales. Then they impose tax on the winners. And finally, if the winner gifts a part of his reward to some of his close relatives or friends, then they have to pay tax on that amount as well. This is absolute lunacy and I hope the governments would look in to it. But with left-leaning governments coming up in many countries around the world, I don't have much hope.

I haven't entered the heart attack stage yet. Every time my basebet is high, it gets cold and my heart moves fast. The dangers of gambling are indeed high enough for the mind or health.
right now I better switch to sportbet because I can enjoy enjoying ball / basketball. For slots I am persuaded to always deposit if it is busted and it makes for poor

I think the way how we always handle these emotions is to always staying calm whenever you are in a tense situation with your bettings or gambling. If you feel you are winning, then it is important to show confidence, not excitement. I always take pride whenever I feel like winning or winning is very close. I don't get excited but I feel this confidence that I was able to achieve the unachievable. So just relax and don't get too excited.

I don't think the lottery is the problem here. A lottery is not limited to anyone whether they were old or young, healthy or sick. The problem here is managing your emotions. If you can't able to manage your emotions for too much excitement or grieve then I won't recommend these kinds of activities. You can celebrate and enjoy your winnings but you still need to watch out for your emotions and avoid getting fired up especially if you have any health problems otherwise it will all get wasted if something bad happens.

I don't get excited but I feel this confidence that I was able to achieve the unachievable. So just relax and don't get too excited.

It is not easy to handle those emotions because, as we know that the emotion will always change from time to time. And if we are playing gambling, we will get those changing emotions, especially when we lose some money. That will happen too when we win, and that can attract us to play longer than usual.

I think we can reduce the confidence tension when we win because that can lead you to have overconfidence, making you keep playing. After all, we can think that we still have the luck to win the game. That will not right for you as we know that luck will not stay with us in the next rounds.

It is sad to know that someone died in heart attack because that he won the Lott....

Sudden excitement makes them vulnerable especially if you have a weak or underlying heart illness. It's better to be with members of your family when you check your ticket if you have an idea some details is already known or winning. This overexcitement or shock and palpitations and raised heartbeat is the main cause of heart attack, I pity them because they won but they cant enjoy their winnings.

Another important thing, if you aren't too attached to things like that, you won't be shocked that much if you win or lose them in "large" amounts. By the way, I would prefer the winning amounts to be moderate in order to avoid situation like that. Better that the rest of the prize money is split into my parts and spread around so that there will be more winners
People should learn to detach themselves from material things so when they unexpectedly win/lose, they pretend as if nothing happened and move on. The less pressure could even help them know how to spend the money or manage the situation the right way. .

Then lottery games are not meant for someone like you because people usually winning big through it with just a $20 ticket.

People should learn to detach themselves from material things so when they unexpectedly win/lose, they pretend as if nothing happened and move on. The less pressure could even help them know how to spend the money or manage the situation the right way. .

By nature, all human is connected to the material and to avoid a situation stated by the OP it depends on the individual maturity and health illnesses. However, gambling is not for people who cant control their emotions/buzz I don't why it hard for people to understand this.

that is really true, it happens to me too when i bet big, my heart starts beating faster, even when i bet with a small amount on a bet with really high odds and i get close to win it, same thing happens to me, my heart beat raises, winning the lottery and dying right away is like the worst that could happen in life.

Do what you think is better for you, for your satisfaction and for your own health. It's not just about hitting the jackpot but what happens often is about losing. It will give you more stress than hitting the jackpot so if you think that you're not good anymore in the former game that you're playing with or if you're betting with a high base amount, you need to change or replace it.

right now I better switch to sportbet because I can enjoy enjoying ball / basketball.

I also find sports betting is enjoyable and fun. You get to analyze the games you're about to bet and there's no regret whether they win or lose because you can watch how the game will end and it's not a quick game. There are news that you can use if there's a change within a roster or handicap which you can use. And that's totally going to help you avoid having a stress or heart attack.

[Kakmakr]

You know, some of these people do not die of a heart attack when they find out that they have won the Lottery. A lot of them die much later of a heart attack as a result of the money that they won.

Just imagine this scenario :

Over weight guy wins the lottery and suddenly he has the money to live a wild and exciting new life. He buys the Jet ski that he could not afford before and then goes out on the lake, playing with his new toy. (He is not fit enough for this physical exercise and get a heart attack as a result)

Another guy was living on the street, barely having enough money to get proper food. Now he wins the Lottery and start buying all this unhealthy food. (Eating Wagyu Steaks with sauces and fries etc.) He also buy himself a nice gaming computer or latest Playstation console and gets no exercise, so he become overweight and his heart fail as a result. 

[Timelord2067]

Sounds like the player had far too much stress going in in their lives and were overcome with a sudden ramping up of that stress as they realised they'd won.  Definitely a cautionary tale for anyone wanting to de-stress through gambling.
