Did you know somebody financially poor who became super rich?

I once had a friend who lived in the depressed area of our municipality. He was so short of cash that he tried to make ends meet by doing odd jobs. But lately a car suddenly pulled up in front of our house and behold, this was this guy showing his new found wealth to me. He had won a huge sum of money from the lottery. Do you know somebody who was dirt poor and suddenly here he is brandishing his wealth? Thanks my friends.

Yeah. Some guy I don't personally know but family does. He didn't have much but he was pretty determined to get money. Worked a lot, had good luck i guess. Had a positive outlook on life. Right now he owns 50+ houses in L.A. FYI he was in the construction business. Construction was pretty big a while back.
