  Karma Fool stumbled upon some interesting news in the "Editor's note" of the June 2004 issue of urlLink Psychology Today . The "note" compares two lottery winners: Clifford Turner and Michael Carroll. Turner, a Buddhist, won a $50 million lottery jackpot. And he elected to maintain his simple lifestyle and share a chuck of his new found wealth with his community. One news clipping about Turner referenced " urlLink lottery karma . " The other jackpot winner (Turner)--in a dufferent lottery--showed up to collect his $18 million winnings wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet--having pleaded guilty to charges of drug possession.
And which lottery winner do you think was the happiest? Yes, it was Carroll. And no it was not because (or just because) he won $32 million more than Turner. Okay this morality fable is trite and predictable. But Karma Fool thinks there is a viable lesson in there, just the same. urlLink Link
