Statistically speaking, you have a greater chance of dying from a wasp or bee sting in your lifetime than you do winning the lottery jackpot. But that’s not to say people don’t try anyway. In fact, American adults spend around $338 per person annually on lottery tickets, according to Investopedia.
One woman revealed that she plays the lotto a few times a month. She was completely ecstatic when she recently won enough money to put down a deposit on her dream apartment. A few months earlier, she’d been living in a camper van in her sister’s damp garage, on condition that she pays rent, looks after the kids and pets, and helps with housework. Now that the wheel of fortune has turned, her sister wants half the lotto winnings. But the woman doesn’t feel she deserves it. Bored Panda reached out to financial expert, Cody Barbo, for his take on the matter. He’s the CEO and Founder of Trust & Will.
