You Win Some, You Lose Some: Lottery Winners Who Lost Everything

Luke Pittard Is Lovin’ It?

In 2006, Luke Pittard won almost $2 million in the lottery. However, he spent most of his winnings in record time on things like lavish vacations, a house, and a wedding. In fact, a year and a half after winning the lottery, he was back to flipping burgers at McDonald’s. He says he is happy as his leftover winnings collect interest, but no doubt he wishes he would have spent it more wisely. As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters. Unfortunately, some people who lose their money are so miserable and feel so trapped that they take their own lives, like the next winner on our list.
