There is also the whole spiritual "thing" about not being comfortable 
with the money.  It is so common for people who came from poverty to 
end in poverty regardless of their life experiences.  It is truly a 
massive effort to rise above it and stay there, lottery or not.  By 
the way, George Foreman announced today that he wants to return to 
the ring as well...not enough money in grills I guess.  He's 55!
