But these tales also carry lessons!

We all want to hit the big time to win that once in a lifetime lotto jackpot. The true people behind winthelottery testify that miracles can happen. These stories of real lottery winners demonstrate that no matter how challenging, even the most ordinary of lives can be transformed by lightening in a bottle provided by hope, perseverance and a little luck.

The plan to winthelottery, says for most folks, starts with a single ticket. As an industry, we have little ability to nurture the tiny act that becomes the catalyst for a person leading a better life. Look at the tale of Manuel Franco, a Wisconsin man who was working an every-man job, dwelling in paycheck-to-paycheck purgatory. Then, he decided to throw caution to the wind and purchased a Powerball ticket one day. When the numbers were revealed, Manuel learned that he had won an extraordinary $768 million. His incredible story perhaps best showcases the fact that anyone, no matter what, may winthelottery and alter their destiny.

Another incredible story is that of Marie Holmes, a single mother of four from North Carolina who has had to work two jobs at the same time in order to provide for her four kids. Life was hard, and every dollar counted. Marie bought a lottery ticket on a whim and found herself a short time later the winner of $188 million in the Powerball. Her life was suddenly changed. Advertisement Marie spent her prize money on a house, set up college funds for her children, and was a regular face in her community — all while remaining down-to-earth. Her rags-to-riches saga shows that for Mebane, winning the lottery may have very little to do with money, and everything to do with the promise of second chances for oneself and for future generations.

Not all rags-to-riches tales are of multimillion dollar jackpots. And sometimes life can be transformed forever even by a smaller win. Take the example of John, a factory worker who would never have believed his feelings of confinement could be transformed into constant experiences of freedom. His years of ticket purchasing paid off when he struck a $2 million jackpot. With his win, John paid off debts, helped his family and opened a small business, making dreams that were once hard to imagine a reality. His story points to the fact that the desire to winthelottery isn’t just for the luxuries if it, it’s also for security, freedom, opportunity.

It’s a reminder that, for some, a big payday from the lottery isn’t all champagne and roses. Coming to terms with wealth requires a different kind of planning and trusted advice. The tips that come from most of the best rags-to-riches winners include maintaining the proper perspective by surrounding themselves with financial professionals and staying humble as well as giving back to their communities.
