So someone in Scotland won the lottery and is now suing the lottery because it's ruined her life. No, I don't have much sympathy for her either. Your life isn't that bad when all your bills are paid and you don't need to worry about paying your rent and feeding your family. She's also complaining about not being able to get plastered every night. Poor baby.
Let's try to put it all that aside for a minute.
People who play the lottery are usually poorer than people who do not. Sorry, it's the truth and just because you know a doctor who plays the lottery doesn't change statistics. Logically, people who win the lottery will probably be people who aren't very well off. Winning all that money will instantly place them in a different social circle than all their friends and relatives. While it might feel good at first, there is a chance their daily life afterwards might be very difficult. Obviously everyone will be asking them for money-and people do not like to hear the word no.
Playing the lottery is a bad idea, and perhaps winning it is too.
