In 2022, it seemed like everyone was talking about the lottery or buying a ticket. The biggest payout of all time was in November, at $2 billion dollars. About half of Americans play the lottery, with total sales topping $100 billion! You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery – so why do people play? And, if you do win, why is there a “curse” associated with it? Dr. Phil meets a British lottery winner who says her life turned upside down after winning the lottery with her very first ticket. Then, meet a woman who says she is addicted to playing the lottery. Dr. Phil and industry professionals also discuss the pros and cons and what’s important to know before buying a ticket. Plus, what happens if you win and come into sudden wealth? Tune in today to find out.
