If you won the lottery(彩票), it would make everything easier, not having to worry about money. But that's not always the case. Jane Parks won the EuroMillions at the age of 17 but now, four years later at the age of 21, she says the stroke of good luck ruined her life.
She says, "Now it feels like winning the lottery has ruined my life. I thought it would make my life ten times better but it's made it ten times worse. I wish I had no money most days.”
Jane says to herself, “My life would be so much easier if I hadn't won. People look at me and think, 'I wish I had her lifestyle. I wish I had her money.' But they don't realize the extent of my stress. I have material things but apart from that, my life is empty. What is my purpose in life? There's no one in the same boat as me, and no one who really understands."
"I think 18 should be the minimum age for winning the lottery, at the least," she added. "The current age of 16 is far too young."
It's always hard to put yourself in someone else's position. But I mean, I'm still not convinced it'd be the worst thing in the world to become a millionaire overnight thanks to the lottery.
