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

Ibi Roncaioli’s Double Life

After winning a $5 million lottery in 1991, Ibi gave $2 million of the earnings to a child that she conceived with a man that was not her husband. When her spouse found out about her secret spawn he poisoned her with painkillers and was found guilty of manslaughter.

Another story of deceit. This just goes to show you can’t trust many once you unexpectedly receive a ton of unexpected cash. This is often why experts say you should claim your prize anoymously if your state allows that type of prize to be awarded for lottery winnings.
