Idk I think it’s just they usually end up in prison for one reason or another pretty quickly.

Money hungry people, who are terrible with money, all of a sudden getting a ton of money leads to a host of problems:

—Michael Todd Hill won $10 million in the North Carolina lottery in 2017 but was later convicted of murder after shooting his 23-year-old girlfriend, Keonna Graham, in the head while she slept at a hotel in 2020.

—In Michigan, Stephanie Harvell and Mitchell Arnswald won $500,000 in 2016, hoping it would help them avoid eviction. However, just a few years later, they were arrested for a series of daytime home burglaries

—Freddie Young won $1.6 million as part of a postal workers’ lottery pool in 2011 but was involved in a fatal dispute just three months later. He shot and killed his daughter’s landlord, Greg McNicol, over a $1,000 rent dispute and was convicted of murder, receiving a life sentence

—Ronnie Music Jr. won $3 million in the Georgia Lottery in 2015 but used the money to fund a crystal meth trafficking operation.
