Lottery "Easy Money" not as easy as many think

Many people who come into sudden wealth - such as lottery winners end up losing it. Some winners have filed for bankruptcy within a short period of time. They've started to have problems with family members and been annoyed by requests from people they didn't know.

"All of a sudden everybody knows your business, everybody knows what you have," one of the winners says.

"Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jersey Lottery twice, in 1985 and 1986, for a total $5.4 million, gambled and gave away all of her money. She was poor by 2001, and living in a trailer".
