– While many people would quit their job after a big win, Americans disagree on the best way to spend their free time. Men are more likely than women to go back to school or start their own business, and women are more likely than men to spend time with friends and family or volunteer.
– Although games of chance are more popular than ever, only 43 percent of Americans consider themselves lucky.
– Getting married appears to have a positive effect on winning—the majority of unmarried Americans admit they have never won anything, whereas the majority of married Americans claim they have.
– Geographic conditions may also be a factor when it comes to feeling lucky: 53 percent of Americans who reside in the West consider themselves lucky, followed by the South (43.1 percent), Northeast (39.3 percent) and Midwest (35.9 percent).
– When it comes to sharing the wealth, it appears romance is key. Americans over the age of 25 overwhelmingly agree that if they won a big cash prize and had to share it, their spouse or respective other would be in luck.
– Younger adults, aged 18-24, are more inclined to share their winnings with their parents.
