Money doesn't buy happiness

The wife of the lottery winner who took home the richest undivided jackpot in U.S. history says she regrets his purchase of the $314.9 million ticket that has thrust her family into the public spotlight. CNN quotes his wife Jewel Whittaker as saying
I wish all of this never would have happened," "I wish I would have torn the ticket up."
The report from The Charleston Gazette.

• UPDATE. December 22. Sadly I read that Jack's grandaughter Brandi Bragg was found dead, wrapped in a blanket and tarp outside her boyfriend's home. The title of the Charleston Daily Mail piece is "From Riches to Sadness, Death"
  May she rest in peace. My condolences to her family. My best wishes that Jack and his family have a better and happier New Year.
