2. Sharon Tirabassi ($10.5 million in 2004)
Sharon Tirabassi won a lottery in 2004. It was a $10.5 million lottery jackpot. She spent the money on vacations with her friends right away. She went to Vegas, Florida, California, and Caribbean. What an itinerary!
Then she spent her money on a wedding. She bought a $515,000 house and a $200,000 car. It was not the only car she bought.
Three years since her winning, she spent half of her money. It was gone. Then her husband was arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence).
As if it was not bad enough, she lost her house in the same year. She is now working on a part-time job to pay the rent and support her kids on her own.
