With no ticket matching all six winning numbers drawn in the multistate lottery earlier this week, the estimated Mega Millions jackpot now stands at $1.25 billion. While big paydays have spawnedover the years, they have also spelled disaster for some.

This will give a player time to make some very important decisions, like what they want to do with the money and how they think it will change their life.”Having a lot of money means you can help a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean you can help everyone — nor should you.
