As a responsible gambler it gladdens my heart always whenever I hear a fellow gambler testify of how he won a bulky amount of money from be it a bet or lotto and uses that money to inject into something meaningful for himself.

It all happened on my way home just this evening. I boarded a public bus and just in front of me were seated two young men too in their late thirty's having a conversation and from the conversation it sound like they haven't met for a long time and one was telling the other of how he had won a big amount of money from a lotto he played and he has used the money to get himself a new bus for public transportation business.

According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.

Quite rarely I hear stories about success in gambling when a person who won a large amount of money did not spend it again on bets or casinos, but spent it on something necessary and useful. In this case, I believe that the person spent his winnings correctly. This is a good example of how to treat winnings wisely. Unfortunately, not everyone spends their money this way. Often, after winning, people try to win even more money, which leads to losing money.
The main thing is that he no longer engages in illegal transportation and is wise.

If a greater part of those numbers of gamblers that are lucky to get a massive win decides to make good usefulness of the win money to better their life in obvious way the society could witness the positive change in their life's instead of squandering the win back into gambling by been greedy for a doubling. If the former happens more often than the latter then I guess it wouldn't be a thing of rareness not just to you but to others that aren't even gamblers. And who knows, maybe that could have a mental shift about their perspective towards gambling, in that it is not gambling that is actually bad but what and how the individual chose to deal with it.
