People Whose Lives Were Ruined By Winning The Lottery

What would you do if you won the lottery? Give back to the community? Help your local religious institution? Feed your family?  Ha! Try buy a mansion, car, sports team, gold leaf steak, private island, and the entire Big Rock Candy mountain (for mining purposes, of course), then go to space! 

Let's be real, we've all sat around some minimum wage job, bored at opening or closing time with our coworkers, and played the “maaaan, if I won the lottery…” Usually, it's a harmless game, just sitting around bullshitting, but that doesn't stop us taking the last remaining dollars in our pockets to the lotto machine on our way out of the corner store.

Many of us dream of hitting the jackpot, and so what? It's not like it'd actually change us! But some dreams are better left as stories to bore your coworkers. Here are six people whose lives took a dark turn after winning big.
