Have you ever found someone who suddenly won a large sum of money through gambling and changed his lifestyle with that money?
I know one person, this friend of mine suddenly won a million in our currency through gambling. His lifestyle indeed changed, however, this also became the reason why he didn't enjoy much his winnings in a long period of time.
After winning a jackpot in gambling, instead of using the money to put up his own business, start investing, and fix the things he needs in life, he chooses to continue gambling and hoping to have another chance of winning again. Aside from gambling, he spends a lot even on the things he does not need. I understand that it is his money which is why I didn't say anything about how he spends his money.
In the end, he regretted all his actions as he lost it all back to gambling, vices, and material things. Imagine, it takes only less than a year to use up all his winnings. He probably enjoyed his life during that time, but he wasn't able to sustain and give importance to the opportunity he got.
