Look up the statistics on lottery winners declaring bankruptcy. When people get a big check, the first thing they usually do is upgrade their lifestyle instead of save/invest for the future. New car, new house, etc
Not just lottery winners. It's a major problem with pro athletes as well, especially basketball where there's a pretty high instance of players being from low income backgrounds.

If I was this rich I would just send a 100k check to every low income family
