I used to go out with a girl whose mother did win the lottery, got all 5 numbers right minus the "powerball" but didn't realize she had won 2 million dollars and THREW THE TICKET INTO THE TRASH.

Ignorance may be bliss but it can also be very expensive.

Lottery winners typically go bankrupt within 5 years and end up millions in debt. Kidnapping, murder are major risks. WV's largest lotto winner was already a millionaire and winning caused him nothing but problems, including the drug overdose/murder of his granddaughter. I would fear my family members being kidnapped for ransom and family disputes over money. I would certainly have to move and my temptations for purchases would be intense.
