Winning a lottery is a great stroke of luck that not everyone experiences! Only the super luck few get to witness what winning a huge lottery is really like! Having said that, luck does not necessarily comes with good brains. Here you see 10 stupidest lottery winners of all times!
Jonathan Vargas
Being young has its own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that age is on your side and the biggest disadvantage? Immaturity! That is probably what happened with the 19 year old Jonathan Vargas. He was only 19 when he won $35 million on the Powerball. He envisioned a future full of luxury and decided to invest everything that he had on a bikini wrestling league called “Wrestlicious” – and Vargas is reported to have subsequently lost everything in the deal.
Callie Rogers
here's another story of immaturity taking over a bright, happy future! Rogers was merely 16 when she won millions of dollars in lottery. She chose to spent it all on substances, parties and other unimaginable things! Needless to say, she was left depressed and poor by the end of it to an extent that she tried taking her life! By the time she was 23, she had lost everything she once won. But was much happier and healthier!
Americo Lopes
Its not like only kids lose all their money. Adults are sometimes even worse. New Jersey construction worker Americo Lopes was in charge of buying a ticket for a group of work buddies. But when Lopes discovered that he was holding on to a ticket worth $38.5 million, he kept it a secret and then quietly quit his job. What happened next? It didn't take a lot of time for his coworkers to understand the reality. They dragged him to court and later Lopes was ordered to share his winnings with everybody! He didn't lose it all but lost a major chunk though!
Sharon Tirabassi
people who are poor while growing up understand the value of money. But that only happens if they earn it with all the hardwork! Easy lottery money symbolizes no value! Sharon Tirabassi can vouch for it! She grew up living in shelters, and when she won $10 million in 2004, she proceeded to blow through it in only ten years. What did she spent her money on? A tricked-out Cadillac Escalade that wouldn’t look out of place on Pimp My Ride. Lol!
John Ross Jr.
Back in 2012, a 29 year old John Ross Jr. won a couple of millions in lottery! However, just months later he was arrested for helping a woman steal, hide and repair a Honda Civic. He also lost most of his winnings on random things
