Passage

3億円が当たる宝くじ（注1）がある。それが当たったのにお金を受け取らなかった人がいる。彼は70代の一人暮らしの男性で、受け取らない理由は「どう使えばいいか分からないから。」だそうだ。

今は静かに生活をしていて、それに何の不満もない。彼が宝くじを買ったのは、亡くなった妻が宝くじを楽しんでいたためで、お金がほしいからではなかった。3億円を受け取っても、それを分けるような子どもや親せきもいないし、高級車や大きな家を買う必要もない。それよりも、もし3億円を受け取ったら、そのお金を目的に人が寄ってきていろいろな問題が起きるかもしれない。楽しい事より大変な事が多いと考えたのだろう。

何人もの人が受け取るように勧めたが、彼の気持ちは変わらなかった。当たらない者から見たらもったいない話だが、彼はかしこい判断をしたのかもしれない。

（注1）宝くじ：番号などのついた券を買い、当たれば賞金がもらえるもの

There is a lottery ticket with a prize of 300 million yen. Yet there are people who win but don't receive the money. It was a man over 70 years old living alone, the reason for not accepting it was [because he didn't know how to use that money].

Currently he lives quietly and has no dissatisfaction. He bought lottery tickets because his deceased wife liked to play lottery tickets, not because he wanted money. Even if you receive 300 million yen, you won't have any children or relatives to share it with, and you won't need to buy a luxury car or a big house. Furthermore, if he accepted that money, people might cling to him because of the money and create all kinds of problems. Maybe he thought the tiring things would be more than the happy things.

Many people advised him to accept, but he did not change his mind. For those who didn't win, it's a pity, but perhaps he had a wise judgment.

（note 1）宝くじ: lottery ticket — buy a ticket with numbers, if you win, you get a bonus.
