lottery cursed

It is said that if Warren Buffett lost all his money tomorrow, he would be able to make it back pretty quickly (or most of it). When you hear that someone has won the lottery are you jealous? Last week, a middle aged man won 56 million pounds in the euro millions lottery. Today, I saw that someone has had to put his 9 million pound mansion up for sale because he has gone broke. (see link below).

What causes some people to lose money so quickly and others to have the knack of making it just as fast? 'Easy come, easy go'. It is a very true statement. All the fat-cats who made money so quickly when Gono was printing money and put it into unsustainable consumptions such as mansions have all gone bust!-drive around Harare and look at how many half finished houses there are! Random events such as winning the lottery are just that-random/chance, whatever you want to call it. And because it is won by chance, it is also lost just as easily, by chance... And those who work hard for money, funnily, actually hold onto it!

So, one wanders how long it will take for Joe Bloggs to flog off his mansion...
