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

Jeffrey Dampier

Jeffrey Dampier lost not only the $20 million that he won playing the lotto, he so lost his own life due to foolish choices. The Tampa, Florida winner chose to spend his newly found fortune on a gourmet popcorn making business, Kassie’s Gourmet Popcorn, and on gifts for family and friends. After cheating on his wife with his sister-in-law, Victoria Jackson, Jackson decided to rob and kill Dampier with her boyfriend, Nathaniel. Talk about karma! And talk about a plot twist! This too could have been a story of greater purpose but poor decisions seem to weigh heavy on people who were completely broke and then won a big lotto prize.
