21% of adult Americans buy a lottery ticket each week. They spend more than USD 70 Bln per year on a 1:300,000,000 chance of winning the big mega-million prize. The odds are just simply stupid!
But what do you actually get if you really win the big jackpot?
Have a look at these facts and think again:
70% of big-prize winners end up in bankruptcy.
37% report they are less happy than before they won.
44% report that all the money is gone within 5 years.
It would be fun to hit the big jackpot, but the chances are too slim. There are a lot of better things you can do with your money.
