People always say winning the jackpot will change their lives, but from what I have seen $50,000 will change a LOT of lives for ever. In Am.Me.Ri.Ca.<p>Give a person $200,000 and that may be just enough that they know they cannot make a mistake. Give them north of $500,000 and now they feel they can spend freely without a worry. Give them north of $1.5M and now they may literally think this money is a bottomless well.
