So I am wondering, SRJ, WHY it is this will always happen.
Maybe it's true, all the time, but WHY?????

Jim,
Not all the time, but almost all the time.
Something happens - something snaps or clicks in the person's mind.......or perhaps one's innate gyroscope or compass is already pattern-set on a course, if you will. The money jacks with the system of behavior of the person's life. I have read that sudden wealth or riches doesn't really change the person, but that it just intensifies what's already there. If one was a mean, miserly, obnoxious person, it intensifies it. If one was a gregarious, happy, easy come easy go personality - it would intensify and expand that personality. Perhaps it's just a race to return to the same financial state as before. Many, many winners comment as Jack Whittaker did; that they wish they would have just tore up the ticket. Jack Whittaker neglected his business and let it flounder. He showered his Grandaughter with loads and loads of cash - which ended up killing her of illegal drugs. Jack spent time toting around huge sums of cash in his briefcase losing it to thieves once. He gambled and was enamored with strip clubs. His Wife divorced him and his Daughter died. He's still out there living in West Virginia from the last story written about him some months ago, where the author was able to interview him and his Pastor at one of his properties of his all but abandoned construction company. He (Whittaker) stated that he doesn't do interviews unless it's for money, but he started talking to the reporter anyway.
