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

Money Ruined Their Marriage

This happily married couple received $2.76 million after winning the lottery in 2005 and rose straight to the top with their two daughters. Spending the money on extravagant trips, cars, and clothes, they eventually got too wrapped up in the fast lane and ended up losing their marriage when Lara thought Roger was cheating on her. After just six years, the couple lost everything they had won and a devastating house fire sent their debt over the top. This is yet another couple that could have used a class to set them on the straight and narrow path with their lottery winnings.
