Top 10 Lottery Horror Stories
Not very many people win the lottery, but of those who win, many lose all their winnings and end up with less money than before they won. Some winners were simply foolish, some were greedy, some had greedy relatives and friends, and some fell prey to thieves and crooks. Here are the stories of 10 people who won the lottery then lost it all.
#1 Evelyn Adams
In 1985 AND 1986, Evelyn Adams won the lottery - equaling a total winning of $5.4 million. However, today - she has no money "Winning the lottery isn't always what it's cracked up to be," says Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jersey lottery not just once, but twice (1985, 1986), to the tune of $5.4 million. Today the money is all gone and Adams lives in a trailer. She lost money in slot machines, and couldn't seem to say no to relatives and friends. Evelyn's big win ended in a big loss.
#2 William Post
In 1988, William Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery but now lives on his Social Security. Post's former girlfriend sued him for a share of his winnings and one of his brothers was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit a share of the winnings. His relationship with his other siblings was also strained and he spent some time in jail. Within a year, he was $1 million in debt and eventually declared bankruptcy. He now lives on only $450 a month and food stamps.
#3 Suzanne Mullins
In 1993, Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in the Virginia lottery. Now she's deeply in debt to a company that lent her money using the winnings as collateral. She borrowed $197,746.15 from this company, but eventually stopped making payments on the loan.
She blamed the debt on the lengthy illness of her uninsured son-in-law, who needed $1 million for medical bills. Needless to say, her lottery win did not end in happiness.
#4 Ken Proxmire
Ken Proxmire won $1 million in the Michigan lottery. Within 5 years he filed for bankruptcy after moving to California and starting a car business with his brothers. He has now returned to his job as a machinist.
#5 Willie Hurt
In 1989, Willie Hurt of Lansing, Mich., won $3.1 million. Only two years later he was broke and charged with murder after spending his fortune on a divorce and crack cocaine.
#6 Janite Lee
In 1993, Janite lee of Missouri won $18 million. Lee was generous to a variety of causes, including various political organizations, education programs and the community services. According to published reports, eight years after winning, Lee had filed for bankruptcy with only $700 left.
#7 Southeastern Family
In the early 1990s, a Southeastern family won $4.2 million. In almost no time at almost all of their winnings were spent on a huge house, cars, and various requests from family members. They bought a huge house and succumbed to repeated family requests for help in paying off debts. Eleven years after winning, the couple got divorced, the house was sold and what was left of their lottery winnings had to be split.
#8 Kenneth and Connie Parker
Kenneth and Connie Parker won a $25 million jackpot and quickly watched their 16-year marriage disintegrate just months after they became rich beyond their wildest dreams.
#9 Jeffrey Dampier
Jeffrey Dampier won a $20 million jackpot and was then kidnapped and murdered by his own sister-in-law who hoped to inherit the winnings.
#10 Jack Whittaker
On Christmas morning 2002, Jack Whittaker found out he had won the Powerball lottery jackpot - $315 million - the largest individual payout in US lottery history. Though he began with intentions to do good with his winnings, his world quickly fell apart with the death of his granddaughter Brandi from a drug overdose which was funded by her allowance from Whittaker and the breakup of his marriage. Whittaker did give money to churches and to people who were in need but was soon bombarded with lawsuits, thievery and greed. He turned to drinking as he watched what he called the "powerball curse" destroy his life.
These 10 stories are evidence that winning the lottery isn't always what it's cracked up to be. If you win the lottery, make sure to get a financial advisor and be smart about your winnings.

I cannot describe how stupid humans are these days, its obvious that many just don't deserve to win, many of the winners had the money to live a lifetime without money worries but they just had to showed it off.
The problem with winning the lottery is that most people who win are not prepared to handle the wealth. Those who are prepared to handle wealth do not play the lottery. They handle their money wisely and build wealth slowly so that it is a blessing, not a curse. Learn how to avoid being cursed by wealth at www.financialexcellence.net
If you win the lottery, contact an attorney experienced in helping you receive the lottery winnings anonymously. Don't tell anyone you've won. Sit on the money for three months while you decide how to invest, contribute, and spend. You'll be safer, and happier.
you are right about people who play the lottery cannot han dle money. one person thet i know plays all the time and is always broke. if he won hia addictions would get worse and he would be broke in probably a year.
If I won the lottery, I would fuck as many bitches in the ass with no lube and make them cry. Thats what I would do
Please excuse the rude comments from my fourteen year-old son, Eugene. He recently reached puberty and his fear of girls is evident. If I won the lottery, I'd tell him the truth about who his real father is, and then send him on an all-expenses-paid trip to Turkey, where I'd have him go to a bath every day and get contorted, then anally reamed by ten men soaked in olive oil.
unless you absolutely have to DO NOT TELL ANYONE that you won the lottery. Get a Lawyer to put the money is a trust fund under a legal identity other than your name so your winnings is not part of any public record. get a financial advisor and DON'T TELL ANY FAMILY MEMBER or offer to help any family member with their financial problems or bills if you help one family member some other family member will find out they always do and then your screwed. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. it's your money spend it your way.
Everyone thinks winning the big jackpot is the end of your problems. They are the end of your old problems and the begining of the new ones. One of the misconceptions is that it is "found" money, it is not. If you approach from another way, it is bond. There are thousands maybe millions of these bonds printed each week. Some are worthless, some are worth a little money and some are worth a lot of money, If it were found money, it would be subject to legal notfication of the owner. So if you look at it as a bond, it is a crappy investment.
This money is basically like a newborn child, it must be taken care of and watched closely. It must be protected from the number one predator, YOU! Get a trust, get a good financial planner and get a good accountant. You don't need a Ferrari in front of your trailer, you don't need a 10 room mansion in West Virginia,you don't need weekend trips to the local strip bar with 50k or trips to the local Indian Casino every other day.
Go back to your life, you buy a nice home, you work on a budget and you take nice trips once a year. Never discuss it with relatives, siblings, freinds, strippers, your preist or preacher. Just your financial adviser, your accountant and attorney and oh yeah, if your married, your wife.
Can someone please talk about the success stories. I know that a lot of people out there are seeing a large sum of money - which they thought could or would ever happen. Unfortunately, the vase majority of these stories have one thing in common. None of the people ever had money to begin with. So as much as we want to help these unlucky individuals, I don't think words can make that much of a difference; "Falling on Death Ears"! I think we should focus on the success stories and shine them in the for-front, so people can learn from their experience; allow people to be educated by others! Oh, and it is nice to donate money to charities - great tax write off; however, these people have to be selfish to an extent. You have to put money away and save it for a rainy day. Also, I am tired of seeing people with no God given common since! If you win a huge lump sum of money - don't go an plaster your face over the internet and shout from the rafters!! You play to win, and in doing so you have to realize that life will change if you win, so don't allow the Lotto official to take your picture and plaster it everywhere so thieves and un-savory people can take notice,"Bull Eye". Well, I hope that we can start seeing some positive stories, and for all you knuckle heads out there playing the Lotto; please stay grounded if you win and protect your family because no one else will!!
if I won the lottery, I'd pay for huge bill boards with the following lovely quotes from the Koran:
“Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.” Koran 2:191
“Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.” Koran 9:123
“When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.” Koran 9:5
“Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.” Koran 3:85
“The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.”... Koran 9:30
“Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 5:33
“Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.” Koran 22:19
“The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.” Koran 8:65
“Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.” Koran 3:28
“Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.” Koran 8:12
“Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.” Koran 8:60
Quran 9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter, either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."
at this guy above me ^
The subject we comment on is what to do if u win the lotery and not to spread lies about a religion.
It's disgusting how people think that they are entitled to other peoples' money. I could handle the responsibility of winning a few millions. I would pay of my debt, my parents, pay for mine and my sister's education and purchase a modest apartment(not immediately though). I'd hire a financial consultant. By the way, taking a lump sum is a stupid idea! That's a good way to lose money! The problem seems to be people who have "addictive personalities" and the GREED of family members. I wouldn't beg for money from anyone unless I were starving.
How do I conceal my identity if I win? How do I make certain that my parents don't tell anyone? Isn't the winner's name published? I could trust my sister... but what about my parents?

I'm not a winner of the Lottery...Mega, power ball..or Little Lotto. Although one may have many dreams and ideals of what they would do with winnings, that is ok, nothing wrong with that, but one should be wise...because as we all may no, A FOOL AND HIS MONEY WILL SOON PART.
