If she doesn't need it, then I'm glad she is using it for a good cause that will keep her happy and active probably for the rest of her life.

When I read these stories about lottery winners losing it all in a short time, it makes me wonder whether or not those who play the lottery are really "average" people. Is there something in their personality that propels them both to play lottery and to lose/spend winnings fast?
