The Unlucky Winners

Time takes a look at those who won the big jackpot, and what happened to them afterwards. It is a sad tale: drugs, alcohol, depression, loneliness, and suicide.

Some things are just more important than other things in life. Everything is not equal and no, everyone and everything doesn’t deserve a few moments of your time.

My deepest condolences go out to the O'Bara family, and it is to such as these that I give my deepest expressions of gratitude and highest praises of honour.
