When I win the lottery, it'll be because my skill in picking numbers.  Not luck.

The lottery actually demonstrates how luck has little to do with long term stable wealth being that most lottery winners (70%) declare bankruptcy within a few years of winning the lottery. At the same time, most professional athletes (60% to 80%) also go broke after they retire. The reason for this is that most people have poor spending habits and poor investing knowledge and they soon lose the money they earned/won.
