Do you believe in the ugly side of multi million wins.

[aioc]

In this life, you can't have everything; our subconscious mind somehow warns us that after extreme luck, something bad is going to happen along the way.

While not really a fact to consider, there are stories of people who, after winning huge in a lottery, become miserable or lose their fortune eventually, some of them from mishandling their fortune or from events that they have no control over.

Do you think you can handle your fortune if you ever win the lottery? Do you have a fear of Impending Doom and Anticipatory Anxiety after winning millions of dollars in a lottery?


Some examples of this;

Winning the lottery might seem like a dream come true, but mountains of unearned money are irresistible to greedy and resentful friends and relatives, con artists and charity cases, who scurry out of the woodwork to grab as much of it as they can. In other cases, it's the lottery winners themselves who can't get out of their own way — reckless spending, giving, partying and gambling leave some worse off than they started.

24 Lottery Winners Who Lost Millions

Lottery winners who lost it all: how jackpot dreams turned into nightmares

What's your opinion and experience on this?

[coin-investor]

What's your opinion and experience on this?

I am a lotto bettor, and I am fully aware of these circumstances. The best way to proceed is to know and be aware that you can win a jackpot, not that you are expecting this, but somehow aware as a lotto bettor.

I already have a plan written in my mind and subsconcious, what I'll do with my winning and what my character should be, there is a saying the patience of a man is tested when he has nothing and his character when he has more.

We should stay the same, and if there's any change in behavior, it should be controlled, and you should be aware that what you have is a blessing that you should control and share. You have to be positive that nothing bad is going to happen, and if there is, you can handle it.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Is the feeling of impending doom just due to luck? I think this is due to the sudden increase in uncertainty of life.

Before winning the lottery the impact of your financial decision was limited.
But after winning millions, a wrong decision can cost millions, right?
So the concern is not completely unreasonable.

Another thing is that we only hear the story of winners who have lost everything because those stories attract attention.
People who have quietly invested money, haven't changed their lifestyle much and hold on to wealth, are not news.

So if ever won lottery, my first priority would be to keep it private.

What's your opinion and experience on this?

What rips people off their winnings and brings them back to square 1 is their greed, they stupidly believe that if they chased it more they would continue winning, and their bad attitude has a bad way of keeping them locked in until they loose everything back.

The ugly side is real, I've seen people win a lot of money and go broke again, some even went to the extent of quitting their jobs and focusing solely on gambling and today they have neither money nor jobs to sustain them and are in regrets.

I don't have any fear, I've made some mistakes and taken correction. I am very prepared to efficiently use any big win that comes my way.

It is a mentality thing. If you have the wrong mentality towards gambling, you are not in a safe zone or an advantage if you win a lot, chances are that you would be on your way back to square1 pretty soon. Responsible gambling is not a choice, it is a must if you want to make good use of your gambling wins.

I am not a lottery fan but if i am given a game to play by a stranger or anyone at all i will try the game because i do not know what made the person to give me a code to try luck but here is what i will do in such situation; i will make sure to play with what i can really afford to let go if it does not work as planned, after all nothing is guarantee. i know sometimes when we win a huge amount of money the emotion will always try to drive us but regardless i won't lose everything back.

What's your opinion and experience on this?

This is just a myth but the series of incidents make it look like a fact but it's not. I have also witnessed so many people that turned wealthy overnight and suddenly become poor overnight like ashes blown by breeze. The truth is, if you get access to huge amount of money suddenly without preparation and planning, you're likely to lose it suddenly the way it comes. I don't want to believe in that theory or whatever it is that extreme luck must be followed by bad luck. Some of this people are not financially disciplined to handle that huge amount. I'm not saying I can handle it or not but I don't believe in it.

You can't have everything free in life, misfortunes may sometimes ruin the entire experience, but becoming miserable after winning the lottery is not part of that. After all this, when it's time, they need to accept every blame and shame of getting drunk with too much money. Why do people make comments like "we made the wrong person rich"?

Do you think you can handle your fortune if you ever win the lottery? Do you have a fear of Impending Doom and Anticipatory Anxiety after winning millions of dollars in a lottery?

I don't have any fear of impending doom if I suddenly won millions today, because I have handled if not more, a close range of cash at my disposal and there's nothing strange about that.

Well, winning lottery will never destroy you. Rather your lack of preparation or sudden change in social environment could put you in danger.

Bad things will happen after winning lottery is basically human psychological tendency. In reality there is no such rule. When you suddenly get big fortune, you also fear losing it. So you can consider it as an inauspicious sign. If you want you could google about 'Sudden Wealth Syndrom', you will find many cases about this.

In fact, the idea that most lottery winner end up broke is somewhat bloated, in my opinion. I have many people who won big lottery and their life satisfaction increased in general. However anxiety or stress level is not same for everyone. Some people can handle high pressure easily while others can not.

[giammangiato]

This type of discussion has been addressed several times, however it always arouses a lot of interest.
I've never won a big amount so I can only express my opinion on what I see or experience indirectly.
A big win also depends on the social class. If a low-class person wins a lot of money, the probability of falling from grace is high, because they will aim to buy and spend the money without any criteria. However, if a high-middle-class person receives the win, the probability is reduced; they will aim to spend that sum intelligently.
It's not a rule but by act the odds are higher because they will reason completely differently.

In this life, you can't have everything; our subconscious mind somehow warns us that after extreme luck, something bad is going to happen along the way.

Such things in my area are called 'pamalik" bad things will happen and happen to someone when they receive something of value.
Example:
Someone found money that had fallen in the middle of the road. Strangely, if the person found the money, if he took the money and used it, the next day he would lose twice as much money as he found.

Likewise, after someone wins a large amount of gambling, bad things will happen to him.
There used to be a person who lived in the same city as me, that person won a million dollar lottery, the money was used to build a house, bought land and so on, but as time passed one year later, the house was burnt down, his wife and children were sick and died, unfortunately this person is now crazy.

Yes, strange things like that have happened when someone wins a large amount of gambling and the money is used, whether this situation is a curse or something we don't know yet.

[obuoma]

I hear stories of people who won millions from gambling and still lost all, I keep asking myself if they were actually gambling without a plan for their winning or they are actually sick. If I'm opportune to win such life changing amount, even if I don't know what to do with the millions at the meantime, I will invest some part of the money in real estate because that is one place I know that the value will hardly go below my capital. Furthermore, I will also consider investing another portion in Bitcoin and possible add a time lock to it so I'm not moved to deposit the Bitcoin into casino. If I still want to gamble just for fun, I will not spend more than 10% of that winning.

[Iranus]

The examples you have given are not isolated incident.
Actually, there is no miraculous curse behind winning lottery and going bankrupt. Your psychological weakness and lack of economic education can put you in danger at any moment, no need to win lottery.

Do you have a fear of Impending Doom and Anticipatory Anxiety after winning millions of dollars in a lottery?

Actually this happen only when your subconscious mind knows that you are not worthy of this huge amount of money. Or you don't have the knowledge to retain it. When crores of $$ come suddenly without any effort, your brain will develop extreme insecurity. As a result subconscious mind is constantly in fear thinking that I could lose this wealth at any moment.

I guess there are also stories of success involving lottery winners, so it's not a rule that a streak of bad events will take place after winning a big amount of money from gambling.

Now I'm going to be superstitious about it, and try to understand why such misfortune would happen as consequence of a lottery prize winning. What happens is that it's easy money, which has been earned with no effort, besides being fruit of the suffering of many other gamblers who lost their money.

This money comes with bad energies. It's different, for an example, from the money you earn working somehow and providing your customer or employer a service they feel satisfied and grateful about.

That is the explanation I think to be behind the phenomenon you mentioned.

This is a pretty good plan and layout. How else do you spend the money that took so much from you, and paid so little in the past? The day I get so lucky to win a lottery is the day I quite gambling for good. No second thoughts, no reconciliation, no remorse, no anxiety attached, just a straight head to think of better ways that I can keep myself busy and not return back into the game again.

I'll take it to be a gratuity paid to me by the same casinos I have patronized for years. They obviously don't need you back at your job if you're retired and have been paid the fat sum like I said, so you have strong list of investment.

Yes this has been common throughout the history of the lottery, in fact if you look back at ancient history, winning a raffle was not always the blessing people hoped for. During the Roman Empire, emperor Elagabalus used to host lotteries for his dinner guests and public crowds. While a few lucky tickets won valuable prizes like ten horses or a pile of gold, others received bizarre gifts like a bag of dead flies, ten dead dogs or a handful of dead bees.

Personally I think the main reason so many jackpot winners end up miserable or bankrupt is that they completely overlook karma and gratitude. Many winners hoard their wealth, cut off their roots or fall into reckless greed without giving back to their community, doing good deeds or simply staying thankful. The universe has its ways of balancing things out when sudden wealth isn't respected.

If you are a good person with good intentions and genuine empathy, it is actually quite hard to lose that money. My formula for managing a massive lottery win would be straightforward: Donate 20%, give directly to people in need, charities and causes close to your heart. Invest 60%, put this majority share into ethical projects, businesses and initiatives aimed at improving humanity in a positive way. Keep 20%, use this for yourself and your loved ones to enjoy life, buy those dream toys and go on the trips you've always wanted.

If you treat the money with respect and continue donating a portion of the ongoing profits from your investments, those returns will keep generating. The universe will treat you good if you treat everything in your life the same way.

Privacy has got a lot to do in helping to save you from possible impending doom. when you have such wins, as much as possible try to keep it private, limit the amount of people that gets to know about it at  a time, not like it will completely save you from spending but it will help a lot by reducing the awareness that would have led to these persons and people coming around to see of the can grab a piece of the cake. the fewer people who knows about it, the lesser the demand and pressure on spending it, except for that which you bring upon yourself.

Another way of preserving such so you don't get into the trap of frivolities and loose all of the money again will be to make sure that you get a possible investment plane almost immediately before you start spending and going for the parties and giving to charity and the other means of spending. If you are able to throw a great chunk of the money into some investment, you will always have something to fall back at when the other eventually runs out.

Winning lump sums, historically, has resulted to most recipient's early financial dooms; bankruptcy, crime, and suicide. Having seen and read similar outcome repeating on jackpot winners, it's clear to say that not every gambler can lean on this kind of breeze. Families, friends, acquittance, add more pain to the struggle of not taking the right financial steps. The rise in the number of sick people, failed businesses, and big business ideas to invest the wins, come up on the daily basis from family and friends leading the winner into overspending his wins. The best two ways to escape these challenges is by concealing the winning news, and reading this reddit post; https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/comment/chb38xf/

While not really a fact to consider, there are stories of people who, after winning huge in a lottery, become miserable or lose their fortune eventually, some of them from mishandling their fortune or from events that they have no control over.

We can't use the miserability of some people to judge all. As we see those who are miserable after earning huge in gambling, that's the same way stories exist where gambling had helped people, especially those who least expected it big in lotteries. All doubles down to psychological preparedness for the sudden money and management. It's clear that some of them mismanaged this money, carrying women up and down, taking alcohol and substances and wagering senseless amounts in a bid to make more because they never prepared for where they found themselves psychologically. So what do you expect?

Do you think you can handle your fortune if you ever win the lottery? Do you have a fear of Impending Doom and Anticipatory Anxiety after winning millions of dollars in a lottery?

Oh yes, I will handle it cleverly. Because I'm psychologically prepared already and I don't believe in the negativity attached to winning big. It's all about using the money rightly, particularly outside gambling and unreasonable lifestyle and spending.

Winning a lottery is not a guarantee for financial freedom. People win big through gambling and still get broke because they lack financial knowledge. One thing about most gamblers is that the focus is only on gambling. No skill, no business, nothing they are doing while they find the big win. Eventually, if the big win comes, there is no ongoing business or skill they can put that money into that will set them up for life.

Do you think you can handle your fortune if you ever win the lottery? Do you have a fear of Impending Doom and Anticipatory Anxiety after winning millions of dollars in a lottery?

Yes. I am doing ok without a big win. If I hit a big win, I can either invest in my skill or start a business.

There is no cause for alarm since many have been always positioned for a winning opportunity that will land them huge sum of money, but in reality not everyone could definitely be able to cope with winning a jackpot and utilize it as a spectator, imagine you coming across the money you've never been privileged to have before, you'll be super over excited or such could even be another reason to misbehave by spending the money unjudiciously, except The Gambler have been used to disc kind of experience before.
