Have you ever dreamt of winning the lottery (彩票)? Most people will dream of cars, large houses, and not having to work any more. But in real life, that does not always happen.
Dr, H Van Haan, a writer of several books on lottery winners says, “Winning the lottery doesn’t change people’s lives as much as we imagine. Most lottery winners keep their jobs, but we often find that they lost their friends. Their friends will often ask them for money and these friends very often get angry if they don’t share the money.”
Most lottery winners spend most of their first one million dollars on travel. However, when the early excitement of traveling around the world has disappeared, the happiness that the money brings also disappears. In less than a year after winning, most winners say that they are not happier than before.
Too much money can make people unhappy, especially for those who are not used to it. It is true. One study shows that more than 30% of lottery winners lost most of their money in the first five years and many of them had money problems. Another report shows that a lot of people had a happy marriage before they won the lottery, but they had problems after winning the money.
So, you see, although most people dream of winning the lottery, the dream can sometimes turn into a nightmare.
