Lotto jackpots don’t always buy happiness

The Boston Herald reports:
Greedy ex-spouses, mooching relatives and leeches masquerading as long-lost pals could “come out of the woodwork” to put the bite on tonight’s possible Mega Millions winner, warn several millionaires who’ve hit previous Bay State Lottery jackpots.

“Don’t answer your phone,” warned Doreen Ferrara, who won $4 million on a scratch ticket in 2001. “People come out of the woodwork and you just have to say no right from the beginning,” added Ferrara, who just retired from her job last year.
