Won $4 Million and Died…

[Ultegra134]

So which one is the actual truth.

This shows how the internet is polluted with fake/false/misleading information so we can't trust anything even if it's reported by popular media outlets.

I too remember such incidents not particularly regarding gambling winnings but people even died due to extreme happiness that happened in the most unexpected way.

Wow, I don't understand if it's deliberate to attract more visitors or if it's due to false reporting. A title that claims that he died from excitement is certainly more exciting than a simple collapse. This proves that you cannot trust anything you read on the internet. Imagine how much misinformation is out there if they're not accurate in a simple article regarding someone who won in Singapore.

Anyway, truth be told, it's statistically proven that you're actually more likely to die on your way to redeeming your winnings, in the case of a lottery, or by heart attack from the excitement.

Have you ever had a time when winning a large sum caused inconvenience and did not bring you the joy you expected?

This is very obtainable, the way you handle shock matters a lot in life. Good news raises adrenaline in the body as well as bad news.

I can relate to what happened to this man when I experienced my very first major win in gambling. I almost lost my breath out of excitement, but somehow I managed to calm myself down when I saw the excitement was getting out of hand.

The man in question is an old man and may be having a health challenge or two thereby increasing the possibility of his system not handling the excitement in hearing of his mega cashout properly.

Its very sad when a news that should prolong life shortens one, RIP to the dead anyways.

He does have a point that not everything that you could really be able to read up online would really be that 100% or something that telling legit things but rather the opposite. Of course we would really be ending up with having those trust issues on the moment that we do have those bad experiences in the past just because we had believed on something which is fake.Its true that it would really be that quiet absurd or really that unbelievable that you could die with such due to extreme joy or happy or surprised on such winning. Well, if this one would really be that true than there's nothing we can do about it since anyone could really die no matter what the condition or situation that we are into. We dont own our lives so anything could happen unexpectedly.

this is very unfortunate, the guy probably has been looking forward to this kind of win but sadly he never experienced the fruit of his winnings. if he has a family, hopefully, those winnings will be automatically given to them. I don't if casinos actually make it hard for the next of kin to claim the winnings of their deceased loved one but I feel like they do because of regulation or something.

edit

The casino later clarified via casinos.com that the guest 'had fallen unconscious in the casino, but he is alive and in recovery', but disputed reports he had won sums of up to $4mn.

The victim appeared to be collapsed near a baccarat table at the iconic casino in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District.

So this is fake news after-all, nevertheless, I do agree that sometimes if we get excited like winning big money, we should remain calm as it could put a lot of stress and maybe the next time we read this kind of news, it's going to be real as it gets.

so I am glad to hear this, I guess he will be able to enjoy his winnings after all.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

If not on this forum, it could be in another forum. I can't remember correctly where I read about a similar story like this earlier. In that other story, the gambler won a huge amount but died out of overexcitement after he heard the news that he won a life-changing amount, which he never imagined he would even earn in his entire life. I don't think there is really a way to prevent this kind of incident from happening, because even in some situations like this, some people have died due to overexcitement, and their hearts couldn't contain the joy. From my observation, I think people should be well-observed physically and health-wise before giving them some information.

I didn't find this news here, which is now being actively published on social networks, but it can be discussed.
The news is that a man in Singapore won a four-million-dollar jackpot and suffered a heart attack after learning of the win.

Sometimes joyful events end sadly. A person who learns the news experiences stress, which causes a strong heartbeat; and adrenaline levels to increase; and if the winner’s health is not very good, misfortune can happen, as happened with the player from Singapore.
Have you ever had a time when winning a large sum caused inconvenience and did not bring you the joy you expected?

I have heard of similar news but I haven't seen a victim and I also do believe that I cannot be a victim of such. I have maturity of mind and a formidable composure. Even if I win 10 million dollars, I will be unmoved and will remain coordinated. In the other hand, even if you report to me that I have lost all members of my family, I'll still remain calm and plan the next lines of action.

I do not know if there are some kind of adrenaline that unnecessary affect emotions, but if there are, I don't possess them.

Yeah, that's too bad, he didn't even live to celebrate his winnings.

However, there is a disputed news about this, as they said that the main is alive and didn't win $4 million as reported,

It means that it was over excitement after hearing the news of his win that made him unconscious. I will not blame him maybe he has never dreamed of winning such huge amount of money in his life. It is good that we should expect the unexpected so that we don't get affected with a surprise.

A guy won a huge amount of money in the past and he was excited to the point that he ran into a car that hit him and he broke his arm. I will not want such to happen to me should in case I win big.

[Su-asa]

This is a kind of rare thing.
However it's not the first time to hear of death after excitements, this is a kind of things that happened to only the old people, people who's ages have been prolonged to the age of 70 to 80. At that age it's easy for an old person to experience what they call sudden cardiac syndrome.
It might be that the man who was excited about the million dollar he won from jackpot haven't seen a lot of money all his life time. There are others who might be a victim of this but the truth is that people should be able to control the way they rejoice about some certain things because it might harm them. I would have said that the victim who died while he was excited shouldn't have won the jackpot in other to be alive till now.

People that are hypertensive were not meant to be found on playing games of surprises, because anything that can quickly change their mood either for a celebration of joy or sadness can lead to rise in tension for them or their corresponding blood pressure, gambling can be full of surprises and we have to be mindful of our own nature before going into what could cause something bad to our health condition to more, heart attack sometimes is being followed by the event of receiving a breaking news, which is what exactly happened from the case of the man that died after discovering he won huge amount.

[Obari]

Wow
This is no longer a good news but a sad one for the family of the deceased and I think this is one major reason people ought to take their health very serious and always keep up with their blood level checkups.
A news can be a good news and still end up ruining one’s life and I can only imagine this things and I’ve had an incidence not in gambling though where I had a major winning and ended up in the police custody because in course of celebrating the win, I mistakenly over someone with my bike then and ended up spending most of the money treating the victim and bailing myself from the police station.

I hope and pray the family can bear the loss and also do great things meaningful with the winnings so the man can be proud even in his afterlife.

Yes, and it is impossible to win $4M on that table because if we look at the photo, he was playing at a regular/non VIP table and as far as I know the max bet limit for non VIP baccarat at Marina Bay Sands Casino is only $500/SGD 680.
Maybe the person plays for hours, is stressed and tired, lacks oxygen to the brain then triggers heart disease.

The heart attack because of the shock of winning $4 million from gambling is very funny, because it's a happy thing, most people get heart attacks because of things that make them anxious and afraid of something that can threaten them, but this is a happy thing, which he can use to enjoy many things in this world with that amount of money, but unfortunately it ended tragically and sadly.

I think maybe his heart was weaker than before and he had a high heart rate, so the sudden happiness made him unable to control himself and he ended up having a heart attack.

I wonder where the money he won went, was it for his family or was it taken back by the casino?

[Huppercase]

This is really sad and I do not wish this upon anybody. Our health is very important and we should endeavor to take care of it. If we know our health status we should try to avoid news whether good or bad that could spike up a heart rate causing cardiac arrest. Besides I think that people who suffers from from certain health conditions shouldn't participate in some kind of activities. Personally, I haven't been in this situation where a big win "took my breath away and made me feel breathless". Guys please take exercise seriously and health behaviors.

So many people are walking dead because they don't value their health and many forget that when the say health is wealth, they don't know the literal meaning of it. Once a person is above 30 and above, whether you are healthy or not should try and go for medical check up atleast once in every 6 months, you need it and if there is a way to get some home equipment for testing high blood pressure and sugar levels, try and get it because HBP is one of the common problems people within that range and above suffer from a lot.

But I have a question about this guy that died, did he just died out of excitement or the joy overwhelmed him with high pressure? I don't know if I am to see this as a surprise because excitement doesn't give shock that will raise a blood pressure instantly, assuming he lost money to the casino now, it will be understandable. Well, we can't really say much because we don't know the history of his health status.

Well this feeling is something that every active gambler would have experience well for me I have once experience this and it was when I won a something huge, infact the whole was too unbearable that I couldn't stand to hear the final results of the particular game that was actually holding the betslip so what I did was just to cool off my head and sleep off and wait for the final results and when I check the joy of the game actually won was so much that I had like serious headaches after that moment.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

There’s not much to say about this other than how sad it is and that I hope his family are OK and were able to claim the winnings.

I’ve never had anything like this happen to me thankfully but it just proves that good health and happiness is far more important that money.

May he RIP.

[FanEagle]

This is so sad, I mean I sort of understand it, I have people with heart issues in my family, mainly my parents but now my spouse as well. Meaning, when something radical happens, they do have issues, it could be a bad thing or it could be something this great as well.

If I won 4 million dollars today, even though I am as healthy as a horse, I would still have some issues, like I could blackout or faint too, probably wouldn't die but you never know. This dude seems like someone who already had some health issues, and when he won, his heart just couldn't take it. I can see why that would be a possibility, it feels like we are talking about something that is very sensitive for a lot of people, and I would guess that it just was the last drop for him.

[coolcoinz]

I know this is fake, but such things happen in real life. I remember a famous case when a pair of young people were found dead in a motel. They were dating and decided to have sex for the first time. They got so excited that they both died of heart failure while lying in bed. This is 100% true, but the case is old, you can google it if you want.

This title reminds me of an important thing. Money is for us, we don't live to make money, we should be having fun, treating money like means to an end. You really want a car, a house, school for your kids, medical care. It's not money you wont, so don't end up dying while trying to earn money.

[Dewi Aries]

So far and as long as I've been gambling honestly I've never had a win that was fairly large so I've never experienced anything like what the OP told you, but yes of course it's an unexpected case, which is where getting a big win is a fun and festive situation but instead ends in sadness, and I'm sure at first the person never thought that he would give such a significant response when he won a big win, or simply this is an event that really never occurred to anyone before.

But maybe the problem can be avoided when we realize that we have health problems within us, such as having heart disease which is certainly very susceptible to relapse when someone experiences something surprising, which means they have to avoid various activities that can or potentially cause unlimited sensations, but maybe the person did not think that far.

Winning up something that you do know that this could changed up your life would really be putting up your emotions into peak but i havent heard about dying because of too much happiness or being too glad
basing up into the situation, not unless if you do have some heart surgery and issues or illness then having that sudden shock whether positive or negative could really be giving out that kind of possible effect
on which we know that on the moment that you would be able to know something and you hadnt that been expecting then it would really be giving out that kind of surge on which this might be the reason on why he died
on winning up something big like this. We dont really hope for this kind of disaster to someone but this one shows that on the moment that you cant control your emotions then you would really be ending up something like
this.

just like on what others been saying that it is really just that a waste that he wont really be able to make use or experience on spending those millions
just because he had let himself died on the moment that he knew about this condition.

Well, I think in this case, he suffered from high levels of happiness and that resulted to an unfortunate scenario. Know that it is hard to win on games and what more with jackpot prizes which could really shock the player. Happiness is the normal reaction on this but anything's too much and sudden might not be something everyone could enjoy. Again, what happened is unfortunate for this man. Winning is always a hard thing to achieve in gambling because it doesn't happen on a daily basis. Some people died not experiencing to win a jackpot but have spent their whole lives tryingg to bet on a daily basis. I just hope that his winnings would be still used efficiently by his family and loved ones. Life is just so unpredictable.
