Harrell went from a happy, religious family man to a depressed middle-aged divorced person. Soon, his spending and lending became the final straw that broke his already strained marriage. Despite changing his number several times, people always seemed to find a way to get their hands on his digits. Soon everyone, from members of his church to complete strangers, was coming out of the woodwork with their hands out. He donated large sums to his church and helped his fellow worshippers in need. Harrell was generous with his winnings, buying homes for himself and his family. You’d think this would change his life for the better, but it would actually lead to his demise. Just like that, he was $31 million richer. His randomly selected six numbers matched those drawn by the Texas lottery.
Suddenly, his luck seemed to turn around one evening as he sat in his living room, watching TV. Take Billie Bob Harrell Jr.: It’s 1997, and his years-long streak of layoffs has led him to work stocking shelves at Home Depot. Money can’t buy you happiness and winning the lottery could be the worst thing to ever happen to you.
