I agree its hard to stomach those people. But I would also guess that the ones that 'do the right thing' are very reluctant to come on the show. So they most likely can only get the 'losers' to go on the show. The have lost there money and don't want fame to end.

You may never know. Money make peopel two-faced.

As I posted earlier, There's this devouted Christian in my city that won $700,000. He used to be quiet and nice.. Now he's the total opposite and he has broken many laws now.

I was surprised to see some of the outcomes of winning. The saddest was the guy from Chama, New Mexico whose family no longer speaks to him including his own mother. He seemed like the nicest guy you could ever meet. He must have had some real losers for family though for that to happen.

If someone wins 20 or 50 or even 100 + million, I'm not surprised to see them splurging every once in a while. It doesn't mean they will all go broke. Would I buy a bunch of purses or atv's. No, because that isn't my thing, but I would probably get stuff that I enjoy. I mean really, why shouldn't they be allowed to enjoy their win

@ JADElottery ..... I love that show too ...

but I did manage to stomach a few mind numbing lottery stories .... as for going nutz on material things

I tink the hardest thing for me to endure would be the countless hours of re-wireing my brain to go nutz in the first place .....

When I win my jackpots I intend to indulge-indulge-indulge. And I intend to do it guilt free. I intend to enjoy every materialistic moment of my indulgence with a completely peaceful mind. I've earned the right to enjoy my win any way I choose, because I am the one who worked my butt off putting my numbers together for a winning combination. And since my combination won I intend to live it up as I see fit. If I decide to share my wealth then that is my business. If I decide not to share my wealt... [ More ]

I watched one show of that and it was enough in my book. Don't care to see all that overspending, self indulgence and waste,it's enough to make you sick to your stomach. Seems to me they focus on the toys and luxuries (which I guess a lot of people are impressed by or that they think people want to see). I would care to see more of what these folks do for others and charity instead of for themselves.

I don't know about you but i don't buy the BS that she wrote 112,000,000 on a piece of paper and slept with it under her pillow for weeks. She's the one I was talking about that bought all the purses. We will be hearing about her in a few years...

I hate I missed that! If I won, my story would be pretty darn boring. Lady wins lottery and pays off all of her student loans and her family's bills....lady is now broke again. End of story.

Caught some of it last night. Couldn't really take lady that won $112,000,000 - thought she made a fool of herself giving $1m to a charity just to be on the Board with Steven Spielberg, etc. I guess that's what happens when you come into that kind of $$$$. She really went Hollywood.

I've seen these rich programs on TV.

Like $10,000 bottles of wine, enough to feed a family for a year.

I just couldn't do that...

I have it on now. It's actually very hard to watch, it brings tears to my eyes. I just wish I would win enough to pay off my debt and there's this lady with all of these purses, i think like $200,000 worth. Just kills me.

Probably will be too late for most but I just noticed tonight, Oct 3rd TLC channel (280 on DirecTV) is having a Lottery Changed My Life marathon , 6pm until 2am. Looks to be showing all the old episodes. I love this show... hope to be featured someday soon.
