Girl that was jumping from one shitty job to another. Did win not a massive amount but enough to be able to study 2-3 years without having to work. Was able to land a good job and nice paycheck thanks to her studies, so basically changed her life for better.
认识个姑娘之前过着从一份狗屎工作换到另一份狗屎工作干的生活。彩票赢的钱不多，但足够支撑她念两三年的书而不用赚钱。因为学业有成，所以拿到了一份好的工作，薪酬也不错，基本上就是让她的生活变得更好了。

That’s awesome, but also so frustrating that many capable people aren’t able to take the time they need to really advance themselves, just because of money.
这真不错，同时也很令人烦恼，毕竟有太多有能力的人因为没钱，没办法花时间去真正地让自己进步。

This is what I fantasize about. I would love to know what it feels like to learn without the stress of needing to make money— didn’t even have that in high school. I don’t have any desire to get rich and lazy, I want to have the money to pursue genuine interests and contribute more to society
我就总是喜欢幻想这种事情。我真想知道不需要扛着赚钱的压力去自由地念书是种什么样的感觉——甚至高中的时候我都得担心这种事情。我没有任何变有钱然后开始犯懒的渔网，我只想要有足够的钱，让自己能追求自己的兴趣爱好，并且为社会做出更多的贡献。

He bought a house, got sober, and invested a bunch of time into hobbies. He went from being a good guy to a great guy. Super proud of him.
他买了一栋房子，戒了酒，然后把时间都花在了爱好上面。他从一个好人变成了一个伟大的人。我特别为他感到自豪。

Studies have shown (well specifically rodent studies, but it applies) that substance use is associated with boredom and unhappiness. A lone mouse in an empty cage consistently picked cocaine-laced water over regular water every time, but mice in a massive, high enrichment, community enclosure almost never picked the drugged water (repeated of course, not just one trial).
研究已经证明（是针对啮齿类动物的研究，但是人类也适用），无聊和不开心与药物滥用相关。空笼子里的孤单老鼠每次都会选择含可卡因的水，而不是普通的水，但是在物质丰富，社区温暖的环境下的老鼠们，几乎从来都不会选择加了药的水（当然是重复测试的，并非只有一次）。

Having the money and choosing to build up your housing and food stability, hobbies, social life, and environment (as opposed to doing short term, high gratification things, like buying fancy cars or, well, doing more drugs) can easily make it so that you simply have no desire to be intoxicated. Why get drunk to have fun when your life is already plenty of fun sober?
有钱，并且选择投入你的住房和饮食保障，爱好，社交生活，以及环境（而不是寻求那些短暂、高满足度的事情，比如买豪车，或者溜更多的冰），这能很简单地让你感到成功，从而让你失去获得快感的兴趣。你不沾酒都已经过得这么开心了，为什么还要喝醉呢？

This is my nightmare. I'm not bad with money and you get money like that it's relatively easy to grow even if you don't know what to do. Imagine winning millions and then one day sitting around and going "Man, remember when I was rich?" would absolutely kill me inside.
这就是我自己最怕的事情。我不会乱花钱，并且有这样一笔巨款，就算你不知道该干什么，这笔钱也会自己慢慢变多的。想象一下你赢了几百万，然后有一天坐在地上说，“哥们，记得我还有钱那阵子吗？”我会难受死的。

I worked with a lady who was two cubicles down from me. She would buy the lottery religiously and one Friday our boss said to her, “I laugh you win the $55million and come in on Monday and quit.” Well…. She sure did. She was the first solo winner in my city and she quit Monday morning… she and her husband didn’t change much. They just remodelled their home and continue to live simple lives. Both are retired. She was 42 when she won. This was about 10years ago now.
我同事里之前有位女士，离我两个工位。她像宗教一样热忱地买彩票，有个周五我们的老板跟她说，“你要是哪天中了个5500万然后星期一来找我辞职就太可乐了。”说实话……她还真中了。她是我这座城市里第一个独中大奖的人，周一早上她就离职了……她和她老公没怎么变。他们只是把房子重新装修了一下，接着过简单的生活。两个人都退休了。中彩票那年她42岁。那已经是差不多10年前了。

I worked in retail with a woman who won just over $1 mil in the US in 1998. She got laid off from her job as a checker the very next day. The HR lady said she had never seen someone so happy being laid off, and this was about 20 days before Christmas. She became a stay at home mom and her husband, who was working at 7-11 and absolutely loved to talk to people, took his dream job - selling cars. I saw him about 8 years age and he said they still lived in the same house and he was still selling cars for the same dealership.
我干零售的时候，有个女同事在1998年赢了一百万出头。她第二天就被从收银员的岗位上辞退了。当时的人事还说她这辈子也没见过有人被辞退了还这么开心，这还是圣诞节之前的20天。她成为了全职妈妈，而她的老公，那个在7-11工作、特别喜欢和别人聊天的人，最后干上了他梦寐以求的工作——卖车。我八年前见过他一次，他说他仍然住在之前那栋房子里，并且也仍然在给之前的经销商卖车。

Won two million dollars and paid off their debt plus made a few large purchases. Friends, relatives, churches, and charities found out and asked for loans and hand outs. Eventually, the money ran out and they ended up stealing a bit from a some organization they were the treasurer of because they wanted to chase that high again. I can't remember if they did jail time or just did community service but they had to sell some things and ended up only slightly better off than they were before winning the lottery.
赢了两百万美元，还清了债务，还搞了几笔大手笔买卖。朋友，亲戚，教会，还有慈善机构发现了他们，找他们借款，让他们捐钱。最后这笔钱都花没了，他们偷走了负责财务的某个组织里的一些钱，因为他们想要再风光一次。我忘了他们是坐了监狱还是只做了社区服务了，但也确实不得不变卖了些东西，最后他们过的日子仅仅比赢彩票之前稍微好一点。

But I often think of what we'd do if we "only" won the $1million prize. It's a lot of money, but it's not "quit your jobs and live in the Valley the rest of your life" money. With the 1M after taxes my plan has essentially been to pay off the debt we have, then keep living our same lives just with a lot less financial pressure.
但我也经常会想，如果我们“只”赢了一百万的奖金该怎么办。确实是笔巨款，但又不算是“把工作都辞了，这辈子就住在优胜美地”那种程度的巨款。拿到一百万的话，交完了税之后我的计划也只是还干净债务，然后接着过自己的生活，只不过财务上的压力会少很多。

A friend’s mom won in like 1989. This was before you could take the lump sum. After taxes her payout was $37,000/yr for 25 years. She quit her job, thinking she’d be rich, but didn’t realize she was making less than her job paid, and ended up going back to work a few years later because of insurance etc.
有个朋友的妈妈在1989年赢了一笔钱。那时候你还不能把钱一口气拿到手。扣了税之后，她中的彩是每年37000美元，持续25年。她先是辞了工作，以为自己已经有钱了，但她没发现的是自己的彩票挣得还没工作多，于是几年后因为保险之类的问题还是回去接着工作了。

My friend's aunt won about 800k (which can be a generational-change sum if managed correctly), she gave her immediate family 1k each (about 15 persons), paid her and her husbands student loans in full, all of her debt and house mortgage and decided to invest the rest, she still works at a school as a head teacher and my friend tells me that her mentality is something like "what easy comes, easy goes" so she doesn't spend the money lavishly.
我朋友的姑姑赢了差不多80万（如果管理得当的话这笔钱会随着时间变化），她先是给了近亲每人一千（差不多15个人），全额还清了她和她老公的学生贷、房贷和其他债务，然后把剩余的资金拿去投资了。她仍然在学校当班主任，我朋友跟我说她的态度大概是，“来得容易，去得也容易”，所以她是不会大手笔地花掉这些钱的。

I know a guy that won $1 million. It ended up being way less than that because of taxes. I didn't know him before he won but he was older, like late 50s, but he didn't stop working. Still a fabricator and the nicest guy. Apparently he didn't buy anything big, still lives in his small house and drives a beater. Couldn't have had a nicer guy win it honestly
我认识一个赢了一百万的。因为税收的缘故，最后到手的少了很多。他中奖之前我不认识他，但他年纪比较大，五十岁后半，但没有停止工作。仍然是个装配工，是我认识的最好的人。显然他没买什么豪华的东西，仍然住在自己的小房子里，开着旧车。说实话没什么比他更好的人能赢这个奖了。

Guy I worked with asked what would I do if I won a lot of lottery money, I said tell noone, see a financial planner, do what makes me happy. Later he brought a nice 4wd and left and a while later I heard he was just fishing in Queensland. Tell noone.
之前有个同事问我，如果有一天我忽然中了一笔巨款我会怎么做，我说谁都别告诉，找个财务咨询师，然后干点让我自己开心的事。后来他买了辆不错的越野车，离职了，再后来我听说他在昆士兰钓鱼。谁都没告诉。

Last I heard, they’re now retired but still in that house. I’d like to think if I won a lot of money, that I’d do something similar.
我最后听说的时候，他们俩都退休了，但还生活在原来的房子里。要是我也赢了一大笔钱，那我大概也会做类似的事。

That's the thing; $1m is "pay off your house and retire very comfortably one day" money. It isn't give up your day job money and a lot of folk clearly don't understand that.
这就是关键所在：一百万美元只是够“还干净房贷，然后等某一天舒舒服服地退休”的钱。可不是直接放弃手头工作的钱，好多人显然没弄明白。

Not the BIG prize, but they won 250K. They are farmers and they paid off all their debt and invested the rest in their farm. Better barn, tractors, hired help, etc. They were smart with it.
不算什么大奖，但是赢了二十五万。他们都是农民，于是还清了债务，把剩下的钱投进了自己的农场。更好的谷仓，拖拉机，雇了帮手之类的。这笔钱他们花得很精明。

Didnt win the lottery but I know a man who inherited 2 milion from a great aunt. Quit his job and travelled ended up in thailand where he spent all of it on women and booze. Cam back after 20 years without a penny to his name. I saw him some years ago in a bar. He works as a mechanic now and lives in a dingy flat. I asked him if he regretted spending it all and ge said no "I lived like a king for 20 years" you cant grumble at that ive lived nearly 50 years as a porper.
我自己没中过彩票，但我认识一个从姑奶奶那继承了两百万的人，辞了工作全世界旅行，最后到了泰国，把所有的钱都花在了女人和酒上面。二十年后回国，身无分文。几年前我在酒吧看见过他。他现在当技工，住一栋破烂的公寓。我问他把这些钱都花了后不后悔，他说不，“过去二十年我活得像个国王。”真是完全无法反驳，毕竟我将近五十年都只是个苦力。

I mean, I get the sentiment, but if he invested that, it would be a stable income of almost $100,000 a year. You could live like a minor Duke for pretty much forever in Thailand with that
我想说，我能明白这种感觉，但如果他愿意把这笔钱拿去投资，那么回报将会是稳定的每年接近10万美元。拿这笔钱在泰国，你完全可以当一个小公爵之类的东西当一辈子了。

She was already retired, so she gave like 100K to each of her children, gifted 10K to each of her nieces /nephews, bought a nicer apartment for herself and her husband, and mostly leads the same life as before. She still has the same friends, and she still has coffee with her sisters every weekday.
她自己已经退休了，所以她给每个孩子分了差不多十万，每个外甥和侄子也分了一万，给自己和老公买了一栋更好的公寓，差不多仍旧过着和之前一样的生活。她的朋友还是之前那一批，每天也还在和之前的姐妹们一起喝咖啡。

But now she takes her grandkids on trips, pays for their cool extracurriculars / summer activities (surf school, SCUBA diving, whatever) and, now and then, she buys something nice for her close ones or for herself.
但是现在，她会带着自己的孙辈们出门玩，花钱让他们参加有趣的课外/暑期活动（冲浪，水肺潜水什么的），并且偶尔也会给亲近的人或者她自己买点好东西。

Basically, she didn't change. She was always generous and kind, and she still is. Now she can splurge on things that are important to her, so she does. And she still has many family members who love her, as well as a lot of the money she won, so we know she'll be able to support herself in her old age.
总地来说，她没变。她从来都慷慨而善良，到今天也是。现在她可以多花点钱去她觉得重要的东西，于是她就这么做了。并且她还有很多爱着她的家人们，也有赢来的一大笔钱留给自己，所以我们都知道她能够安度晚年了。

My friend won just under $30 million, and dropped out of college to learn to manage her money herself, then finished off her degree online and moved from the East Coast to the West Coast to start her dream career. She invested most of her winnings, works a 9-5 job she loves, and got married and has a couple of kids now. Her personality didn’t change at all, she’s goofy as hell with her friends, and an absolute sweetheart.
我朋友赢了不到三千万美元，于是直接从大学退学，自己管理这笔钱去了，在线上拿到了毕业证，然后从东海岸搬到了西海岸，去追求她梦想的事业。把绝大多数的钱都拿去投资，干着她喜欢的朝九晚五的工作，结了婚，现在有了几个孩子。她的性格一点都没变，和朋友在一起的时候仍然蠢得要命，还是那个可爱的甜心。

A friends parents won. They put the money into a savings account and never told the kids until they were in their 20s. Basically sat them down and said ‘we don’t actually need to worry about money’.
我有个朋友的父母中了彩票。把钱全都存进了存款账户里，直到孩子们二十多岁才告诉他们。差不多就是让他们坐下来，然后跟他们说，“其实我们用不着担心钱的事儿。”
