Despite the alluring gifts of fortune that the lottery can bring, becoming a winner is not a promise of financial stability. For some individuals, winning the lottery has turned out to be a source of enduring distress that has led to financial strain.


One notable example is Jack Whittaker, who won a record-breaking $314 million Powerball Jackpot in 2001. At the time, he was a South Carolina businessman who had a meager income and a wife of 40 years. Initially, his win brought him glory and respect from his community, but his newfound wealth also attracted unwelcome attention. Foreigners begged at his doorstep begging for money, and some even allegedly kidnapped and sexually abused his eldest granddaughter in an attempt to extort money from him.


Whittaker's life soon spiralled out of control as he struggled to adjust to his new reality. He was targeted by professional gamblers claiming they had won the jackpot as well, and he was constantly pestered by promoters. His relationships with family and friends fell apart quickly as they fought over his wealth, leading to a sharp decline in his mental health.


Likewise, William Post's life began to fall apart after he won $16 million in the Pennsylvania Lottery in 1988. At first, he was thrilled with his fortune and began living a lavish lifestyle. However, as time passed, his desire for fame and wealth consumed him. He made several questionable decisions and became embroiled in a custody battle with his estranged wife and his sister, who was appointed as the manager of his trust fund.


Post's world eventually came crashing down when his estranged wife claimed he had cheated on her. He also became embroiled in a disagreement over property with his sister, who accused him of stealing assets from his trust fund. Eventually, Post's trust fund was reduced to just $$50 thousand due to overexpenditures.


Another tragic case is that of Albert Shakespeare, who won $17 million in a Florida lottery in 2007. Initially, he donated money to charities for his friends and family, but as his wealth grew, so did his desire for luxury and excess. He began investing in several ventures, including a film production company, but his investments went sour.


In the end, Shakespeare's life was cut short when he was murdered by a woman he had befriended and given a lavish lifestyle for in the years following his win.


The stories of Abraham Shakespeare serve as admonitions for the provably fair lottery's potential pitfalls. Becoming a winner can bring both financial freedom and social pressure if individuals are not prepared to handle the stress and scrutiny that comes with it. As for the advice given by Bud Post after his win, "it's like a recipe for disaster"
