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

Gerald Muswagon Learned Money Doesn’t Equal Happiness

In 1998, Gerald Muswagon won a Canadian lottery and took home a cool $10 million. Fast forward seven years and he had blown every single penny of his winnings by partying way too much. Muswagon was so unhappy with how he spent his winnings and how his life had turned out that he decided to hang himself in his parent’s garage in 2005.

“This difficulty that Gerald experienced was considered to be a major factor for his suicide in 2005,” reported euro-millions. “After spending almost every penny of his fortune, Gerald was forced back into work. He got a job doing the heavy lifting on minimum wage just to support his girlfriend and six children.”
