What becoming a lottery winner does to your social life

A Reddit user named Ruchizzle recently spilled what it's like to win a million dollars from a scratch-off ticket.

Turns out winning isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when your friends start to treat you like their personal ATM.

Here's what he had to say about the experience: 

What he kept after taxes: 

"I took the lump sum, and after taxes the amount I got was about $400,000. People don't realize your win counts as income and you're in a much higher bracket. So when April rolls around, you still owe another $80-$100,000."
