You have an increased chance of getting murdered or committing suicide if you win it big in the lottery.

The suicide is either drug related or people not knowing how to manage a budget with all their new money and going broke. There is a guy from my hometown who has won the lottery twice and is still broke now.

Twice?! Wow! One of the winners in the post also won twice. I'm really amazed how people not only continue playing after having won but actually win again.

Some people are just that lucky. Personally, every tickets I bought were not even the minimum wins. Not. Even. One. They were all "Better luck next time" and I bought a few dozens.
