Driving is an action that requires attention, but not only that, the conscious driver needs to have very good reflexes just in case. They need to be able to react promptly to the changes in signs, to be able to take the correct route, not to go over speeding limits and also be aware of other cars, for not everyone drives safely and according to the rules.

Because of these reasons, laws are written for drivers and they should be followed for everyone’s safety. For example, there is a law that regulates driving under the influence of alcohol for obvious reasons. Alcohol influences in the time you respond and your reflexes might not be as good as when you are sober, you might also lose your reasoning and suddenly make decisions that are far away from being logical, you might be more emotional and easily provoked while driving, and your senses such your sight might be temporarily impaired. There are simply many bodily functions that somehow cease to function with the same efficiency as when the driver is sober. Lottery winning numbers
But not only alcohol can influence a driver, winning the lottery sure can also affect a driver the same way alcohol or other drugs would. Just pause for a minute and think about it. You were mounted on a highway and had absolutely nothing to do, you just dropped by the gas station for snacks, gas and a couple of scratcher tickets, and since you are waiting for the next change of lights and you are definitely bored you take out your tickets and start scratching. Scratch and scratch and suddenly it dawns upon you that you have just won the lotto! You can’t stop and jump; you can’t make a U-turn and go back to the station to cash your money. Suddenly your body is filled with bodily chemicals that make you sweat, tremble, lose your eye-sight, lose for a moment your rational thinking and what is worse, you are there jailed in your own car. It is almost as if you were under the influence of drugs.
Wade Kutzera knows exactly how it feels. He won $300,000 from an instant scratch lotto game from Minnesota Lottery. “I was shaking so hard I had to have someone drive me to the store to have the ticket checked,” he said. Now just imagine what would have happened if he had won a million dollars. Most probably he would not have been able to walk, let alone drive a car.
Since it is impossible to ask for a law to make it illegal to drive when you will the lottery, the only thing that is left is to do is to launch a marketing campaign to warn the public. Banners can go like this: “Beware of lottery winners on the road, they might be temporarily high while they drive.”
