90 percent of all power Ball multimillion dollar winners give it all back in five years to charity and other needy groups.

@Rickoshay75,
I doubt those statistics are true. I believe that you've misinterpreted them. You're assuming they give it away as opposed to being blind or are misdirected, thus wasting the money and not investing it properly ... or at all.
They're all not donating or giving it away. They just as a rule don't know how to keep and protect their new found wealth.

I saw it on TV and jotted it down but don't remember the source. You will just have to trust me.

Top 20 American Lottery Winnings of All Time
this article basically disproves your statement, one guy gave 10% of his winnings to his church, a few gave some to charities or started some kind of foundation or business, but most used their winnings for themselves or immediate family
