Anybody know some great success stories about the winners of multi-million dollar lotteries? They seem hard to find, at least compared to how easy it is to find stories of the lives and families that have become fragmented over how those winnings were shared and used. Similarly, horizontal shale wells are creating wealth for mineral owners, even as most of our country’s population is in the middle of the most difficult economic times experienced in our lives.
