In Money for Nothing, he explores the captivating world of lottery winners and shows us how lotteries and gambling have become deeply inscribed in every aspect of American life, shaping our image of success and good fortune.

Book Synopsis WICKED RICH: the Adventures of a Mad Lottery Winner by : Paula Moore
Download or read book WICKED RICH: the Adventures of a Mad Lottery Winner written by Paula Moore and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 16th, 1997, I ended the day a blue-collar worker, living with my husband in a small house in Methuen, Massachusetts. On March 17, I was a multi-millionaire. After winning the largest lottery jackpot in Massachusetts history, I thought all of my problems were over. I believed it was a dream come true. I was wrong. I soon discovered that I had exchanged the hardships of being a working-class poor girl with the trials of being a working-class wealthy girl. At first my greatest concern was in making sure that the money didn't have the power to change me; however, my greatest mistake was in not anticipating how hard it would be to keep that resolution - because in many cases, the money changed the people around me. More than that, I was something of an awkward, sometimes inept millionaire. I never got used to it, and I was certainly never comfortable with it. Twenty years later, I took some time to reflect on the ups and downs, the tears and the joyous times, and the life lessons I took away from the experience. Lesson One: While money may have the potential to change people, it has only the power that we give it.

Book Synopsis Casanova's Lottery by : Stephen M. Stigler
Download or read book Casanova's Lottery written by Stephen M. Stigler and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1994, historian Stephen Stigler placed a mail-order purchase for a rare bit of ephemera from a French bookstore: a lottery Almanac from 1834. It contained the winning numbers for the entire span of the French Loterie from 1758 onward, including details on prizes actually awarded-difficult data to come by-as well as hand-written notes by an early owner. Stigler was fascinated with what he saw about how the Loterie was carried out, who bought tickets, and what size bets they placed, and so in the decades that followed he amassed booklets, legal documents, advertising bills, notices, contracts, and tickets. His own collection and extensive additional research helped him piece together the Loterie's remarkable inner workings, as well as its implications for how we understand the history of risk more broadly. In the 1750s at the urging of famed philandering adventurer Giocomo Casanova (who had recently escaped from a Venetian prison by means of a sharpened iron, an accomplice, a rope of bed sheets, and a stolen gondola), the French state began to embrace risk in its approach to the Loterie. The prize amounts varied depending on the number of tickets bought, and the amount of the bet was determined by each individual bettor. The state could lose money on any individual lot but was statistically guaranteed it would come out on top in the long run. Stigler follows the Loterie from its curious inception to a 1776 expansion, to its interruption during the French Revolution (but only with the Terror of 1793), to its renewal in 1797 and further expansion, and finally to its suppression in 1836, examining throughout the wider question of how members of the public came to trust in new financial technologies and believe in their value"--
