My life went straight to Hell because of the lottery.
I got $100,000,000 when I won the Powerball.
But after just two years, I/'/m broke, I lost it all.
I bought expensive cars, mansions and a yacht.
I went broke partly because of the things I bought.
I also had family and friends begging at my door.
Two years ago I was rich, but now I/'/m dirt poor.
When it came to my money, I should/'/ve been tight.
But I was generous, I handed out money left and right.
I gave $250,000 to my church and ended up being sorry.
The preacher used my donation to buy himself a Ferrari.
I shouldn/'/t have chosen to get my money in one lump sum.
Now I/'/m living in a cardboard box because I/'/m a bum.
I also lost money because the Government made me pay tax.
I wanted to go after those Government Officials with an ax.
The Government took the money and I told them where to stick it.
If you want to avoid being in my shoes, stop buying lottery tickets.
