It is also possible you might find out when the game releases!  


Well okay then....
There could possibly maybe a 1 in a million chance that you could possibly learn this very specific thing, but then again, you might not possibly learn this thing.

Just sounds like an awful amount of uncertainty.

7. William "Bud" Post
When William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in a 1988 lottery, one of the first things he did was try to please his family, according to this Bankrate article.
Unfortunately, his kin was of the unfriendly sort. Post's brother hired a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit some money. Other family members persuaded him to invest in two businesses that ultimately failed. Post's ex-girlfriend sued him for some of the winnings. Post himself was thrown in jail for firing a gun at a bill collector.
Over time, Post accumulated so much debt that he had to declare bankruptcy. He now relies on Social Security for income. "Lotteries don't mean (anything) to me," he is quoted as saying—after he lost all his money.

5. Luke Pittard
Welshman Luke Pittard won £1.3 million in a 2006 UK lottery play. He spent a portion of his prize money on a Canary Islands holiday, a wedding, and new house.
After only 18 months, however, Pittard felt bored. Early retirement didn't suit him. So he returned to his previous job—at a Cardiff, Wales McDonald's restaurant. Back among burgers, he feels much happier, despite the fact that his winnings interest makes him more than his restaurant wage.
 
 Though Pittard didn't lose all his winnings, his unique choice of post-lottery employment earns him a spot on this list.




2. Jack Whittaker
55-year-old Jack Whittaker ran a successful contracting company in West Virginia when he won a $315 million Powerball jackpot. At the time, it was the biggest amount ever won by a single ticket.
Whittaker, who already had a net worth of $17 million, received a $114 million check after taxes. He gave money to Christian charities and a personal foundation supporting low-income families.
Whittaker did some good, but his bad deeds make his story. He was arrested twice, once for drunk driving and once for threatening a bar manager followed. A woman sued him after he groped her at a dog racetrack. Thieves took $545,000 in cash from Whittaker's car while he was visiting a strip club. About a year later, thieves again stole $200,000 from his car. Caesars Atlantic City sued him for bouncing $1.5 million in checks. His wife divorced him.
Then, there were the dead bodies. In 2003, Whittaker's granddaughter's boyfriend was found dead of an overdose inside Whittaker's home. His 17-year-old granddaughter, whom he had been giving a $2,100 weekly allowance, fatally overdosed months later, at a different location. His daughter—mother of the dead granddaughter—died this year of as-yet-undetermined causes.
In this messiest of lotto stories, nobody seems to have won.

1. Billy Bob Harrell
In 1997, Home Depot stocker Billie Bob Harrell, Jr. won a $31 million Texas jackpot. To the former Pentecostal preacher, $1.24 million per year was a gift from heaven.
He bought a ranch, six homes for himself and family, and a bunch of new cars. After the initial glory subsided, however, Harrell found himself losing and loaning money at an alarming rate. Like many winners, he had trouble saying no to those who ask for his funds.
As a result, Harrell's life became too stressful to handle. He divorced his wife. Less than two years after hitting paydirt, he committed suicide. "Winning the lottery is the worst thing that ever happened to me," he is quoted as saying shortly before his suicid

I fully get that. Money can really mess with people.
