We all dream of hitting the big one, or wish that we could fall into instant riches (1) by simply choosing the right winning lottery numbers or allowing them to be randomly generated (2) from a computerized lottery machine onto a little piece of paper, but it has often been said that we should be very careful about what we wish for as everything comes with a price (3), including winning the lottery, especially when it involves winning millions of dollars.
