70% of lottery winners actually have less money than they did originally within 7 years. But how in the world is this possible? The answer is simple: irresponsibility, stupidtiy, however you want to phrase it. But what are some of the craziest things that lottery winners have blown their new-found wealth on? After some research, here are the wildest reported things that I was able to find.
A man from the United Kingdom who won 10 million dollars built a race track in his backyard and held demolition derbies.
A winner in New Jersey of 5.4 million, lost her money gambling within 2 years and is now living in a trailer park basically penniless.
The first thing a woman from North Carolina bought after winning 4 million, was another lottery ticket. She won another 1 million on the second ticket.
A man who won 3 million immediately used that money to start selling guns and crystal meth, he's now facing life in prison.
A woman spend $500,000 on fireworks to celebrate winning.
By far the most ridiculous: A 19 year old from the US, after winning 35.3 million, created a women's wrestling reality TV show called Wrestlicious.
I want to have luck like the lady who won an extra 1 million dollars.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what happened to the people who won the lottery; going from no money to tons of money creates spending problems for people who have never dealt with this amount of money.
