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

Denise Rossi Takes Selfish To A New Level

When Thomas Rossi’s wife, Denise, left him unexpectedly after 25 years of marriage, he was confused and devastated. It wasn’t long before he found out Denise had won $1.3 million in the lottery just a week before she decided to part ways. Thomas brought her to court and he was awarded every single penny of her lottery winnings.

Experts often suggest that lotto winners claim their reward anonymously in states where that is allowed but that doesn’t mean it’s a smart idea to not inform your spouse about those winnings. Denise was selfish and in the end, it was her husband who walked away as the big winner from this lottery prize.
