If I were Filthy Rich
By wegotthisonekidmongo+40 Who in their right mind would go to the casino AFTER winning big?
So my thought process is those who win, why would you ever go gambling if you won big? What would be the point? You go to the casino to win money. If you have the money, why would you ever want to lose the money to win what? 10k? You have millions. That makes no sense to me. I guess what I am saying is why would you want to lose money playing games when you know how hard it was to amass that fortune? If I won, I would never gamble anything. Lotto, scratch tickets, casinos, sports betting. Never would I touch any sort of wage now that I have plenty to last me till the end of my life and beyond. I just do not get these people who win, do drugs and gamble. I would get in the best physical shape, run every day, go to the gym nonstop and live a healthy humble life of peace and prosperity and security. Who's with me?

+17 @SprayImportant7486 Casino’s do a good job or getting people in the casino and getting them to drop money. They spend millions on research and if they think you will be a whale they will wine and dine you like no one’s business. Plus, there are those that gamble as an addiction, so giving up the addiction is not an easy feat. Especially not now that you have millions. For me personally, if I hit over 10 million after taxes I would likely not do scratchers or draw lotteries any more. I don’t sports bet so I don’t think I would take it up. I would probably budget some to go to the casinos as entertainment. I love the bright lights, the loud noises of the machines.
+16 @skw4ll The problem with lotteries in the United States is that they leave you in the wild after winning, as they say in France it's like giving jam to pigs, in France the lottery company FDJ set up in 1993 a service dedicated to big winners with tailor-made support, psychology, financial etc. 99% of winners maintain their anonymity because here the culture of money is different from Anglo-Saxon countries. Every year there are a dozen workshops, meetings between winners to share experience, learn how to manage your money, your investments, relationships with loved ones and friends, learn to say no, etc.
