Well put coin toss, some people live to work, Well I work to live. The only real thing that a jackpot buys you is time. Time to do the things that you always wanted to do but just could not afford to. The majority of people who work really do not enjoy what they do. I think the key is to find something that you are passionate about and learn how to make a living do it. That right there is a win win situation. But people should also remember with great wealth comes great responsibility. Im sure

You asked, -Why is it fun to purchase lottery tickets, knowing how long the odds are?

Because it's the working slob's only real hope of ever making a score, getting out of the 'rat race'. It's been said the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Most people do the jobs they do solely for the paycheck. Very few get to be creative , they just do the same job every day, over and over and over, by rote, ad nauseam. Even some people who are fortunate enough... [ More ]

What does it feel like to come into a sudden, large amount of money? What emotions do you experience?

-Why is it fun to purchase lottery tickets, knowing how long the odds are?

-How would (or is!) your life be different after winning a large sum?

-What things besides money, or work in pursuit of it, give meaning to your life

Thanks for the responses!

It's usually easier to interview people one at a time, because I'll have different followup questions depending on where their initial answers might lead me.

I can, however, post a general range of questions:

-What does it feel like to come into a sudden, large amount of money? What emotions do you experience?

-Why is it fun to purchase lottery tickets, knowing how long the odds are?

-How would (or is!) your life be different after winning a larg... [ More ]

How come he sounds exactly like the last guy who wants to do a story on lottery winners.

Maybe he should search the forums and talk to that guy.

Something is up with these guys.

First, good luck in your venture and your budding career.

Second, if I may suggest, perhaps post 10 to 20 questions that you would like answered. I am sure a lot of folks just might be happy to chime in.

Hi all,

I'm a journalism student at the University of Connecticut, and I'm currently wokring on a story about lottery winners, specifically on the challenges of managing a large financial windfall (such as a lotto jackpot). I've been browsing your forums this afternoon and I've found a number of threads discussing some of the same fundamental questions I'd like to tackle - money phobias, does money buy happiness, etc...

I would really like to speak with someone who has won a lottery jac... [ More ]
