when a super prize with only 1/3000000 chance hit the tianjin girl born in 1992, she claimed to have a magic feeling.

what she posted on the original weibo is “the rest of my life all depends on this post!“

one week later, her dream comes true.

the super prize with a probability of one-third of a million hit the tianjin girls head, which aroused hot discussion among netizens. 

three months later, she resigned from the company.

then, she didn’t have to worry about life, just enjoy the fee-free journey. and she is just 26 years old!

however, she is not so happy as others imagined after the resignation!

“besides the prize supplied by alipay, i have to pay more. i didn’t get rich overnight!“

“actually, i’m not good, especially in these years.“

winning a prize sounds a little bit tragic.

david lee edwards, from ashland, kentucky, won $27 million in 2001. but by 2006, he had lost all his money.

“i’ve made mistakes in my past, and that’s been a long time ago. i’ve paid for those mistakes, and i went on with my life, and i straightened my life out, and i’ve been productive since then,” edwards told usa today back in 2001. 

“i am what i am today, and i thank god for that. i can’t go back and change my past, but i can do something positive with my future.”

positive? change? productive?

however, things didn’t go as planned for edwards—like many lottery winners.

after the win, edwards and his wife spent the money on a mansion, dozens of expensive cars, and even a jet, according to the report. he spent $600,000 on one home and bought a $1.6 million florida mansion.

is there no happy “ending” after winning the super lottery?

they won an eye-watering $528million before tax on the powerball, the biggest powerball jackpot in history, but have they let it change them? nah.

the couple appears to be perfectly content living in their old $300,000 home, they still eat at the same restaurants and shop at the same places they always did.

one thing the lucky couple did splash out on was a replacement for their gold-colored suv. they chose to upgrade to a near-identical gold-colored suv.

a friend close to the couple said: 

“they have hundreds of millions burning a hole in their pocket but it’s almost as if nothing has changed. they are as conservative as ever.“

“but there’s no luxury yacht moored out the back and no real changes. they were nice, humble people before and they are exactly the same now – although i’ve never asked them for anything.”

“it makes a nice change from all the stories you see in the news about people winning the lottery, going mad, even killing themselves.”
