#11 The Lottery is NOT a Retirement Strategy!
Winning BIG in the lottery often ends in tragedy. In this episode, we take a look at the story of Jack Whittaker and how his family was destroyed after winning a $313M PowerBall jackpot. Along the way, we discuss why lottery winners go bankrupt, what you should do if you win big, and the political wranglings surrounding State Lotteries where we're often told, "Buy lottery tickets! It's for the children!!!"
