Other Beneficiaries
At the convenience store, the front clerks were over the moon with excitement for Cindy and they were all smiles since one of the draw’s conditions was that the store which sold the winning ticket would also receive $50,000. They proudly showed off the receipts proving that they were also beneficiaries of this amazing lottery draw. All of a sudden, the Hills, a family from a small town who had struggles making ends meet, were about to have almost $300 million, about half of the lottery prize, but they instantly knew they needed to proceed with great caution. The Hills needed to tread carefully because an estimated 70% of lottery winners become bankrupt within only a few years from the time a large financial windfall comes to them, according to the National Endowment for Financial Education.
