Last week, eight meat- packing plant workers in Nebraska shared a $365 million Powerball lottery gambling game. That amounted to a total of $22 million for each of the workers from the ticket that was purchased by one of the men in their gambling game group. After taxes, each of the eight (former, most likely) meatpacking workers is richer by around $15 million.

The event was heavily covered by the media, for obvious reasons. This is a true rags- to- riches human interest tear- jerking story. Even CNN devoted close to an hour of unedited coverage to the ceremony celebrating the gambling game victory story, interrupting a regularly scheduled broadcast to announce the winners.

As interesting as the story of the Nebraska gambling game winners may be to audiences across America, public health experts warn that the lottery is just that: a gambling game, and not a reasonable alternative to saving for retirement or for a child’s college education.

Verna V. Gehring of the School of Public Affairs at the University of Maryland cautions that, contrary to the beliefs of many Americans, gambling game lotteries are not a “prudent personal investment strategy.”
