millions of otherwise rational people
are jumping in office pools standing in
line and it seems just about everyone’s
imagination is running wild about what
you could do with all that cash for most
millions of dollars would set them up
for life and then there are these people
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
dumbest lottery winners for this list
we’re basing our picks on how much money
they lost and how ridiculous the reason
for losing it was number 10 christina
good now
Christina Elizabeth good now’s name was
certainly indicative of her situation at
first anyway all seemed good now is
Christina won 1 million dollars on a
million dollar jackpot ticket which is
something most of us would deem
impossible a million dollars is exactly
a lot of money these days but wait this
is the dumbest lottery winners list so
what went wrong
the woman bought the ticket using the
credit card of her boyfriend’s late
mother which you know is a crime it’s
not illegal it’s frowned upon like
masturbating on an airplane
I’m pretty sure that’s illegal too
investigators discovered this faux pas
charged her with identity theft and
fraud took away the money and threw her
in jail talk about a major buzzkill
number 9 jose antonio quaaack
had he known he could’ve probably gone
by himself in cassia’s but he didn’t
actually know this is a buzzkill and
whole rollercoaster of emotions Tony
crowd talk was an illegal immigrant
living in Georgia when he won 750,000
dollars playing the lottery because he
wasn’t a citizen he had his boss eric
cervantes cash the ticket for him
however the Fort Valley business owner
kept the money for himself claiming that
he gave loud talk money to buy the
ticket for him but the story doesn’t end
there after suing servantes for the
money and winning back the $750,000 wow
talk now faces deportation after his
undocumented status was discovered
sounds like there might be a lesson here
maybe you shouldn’t play the lottery if
you’re living in a country illegally
made a huge mistake number 8 Sharon Kira
bossy after having to live on welfare
and then going on to later when ten
million dollars it’s understandable that
you want to splurge a little shut up and
take my money however a woman from
Hamilton Ontario Canada learn the hard
way that there’s a big difference
between splurging and spending all your
money till you have almost nothing left
after the law – super 7 winner spent her
truckload of cash on a mansion fancy
cars designer clothes flamboyant
vacations and you know typical rich
people stuff her stash was all too soon
depleted 9 years later and she is now
working part-time to support her family
and living in a rented home with her six
children and now it’s all gone Oh
number seven Willie hurt yeah we assume
he’s been hurting after losing all his
money okay we’re done with the puns in
1989 William Hurt won 3.1 million
dollars in the Michigan lottery but
rather than use that money to advance
his life he did the complete opposite
leave a trial and tenth alone will not
take another within two years he was in
the middle of a divorce which took a
chunk of his money lost custody of his
children and had already thrown away
most of his fortune on drugs
specifically crack cocaine oh and he was
also charged with the murder of his
girlfriend this one’s actually kind of
sad now that we think about it number
six

behavior like this it can be hard not to
laugh at the misfortune that follows
after winning 1.3 million dollars in the

him understandably perplexed her lack of
disclosure was an effort to keep all the
cash to herself but after he found out

state asset disclosure laws he was
awarded every cent for 1.3 million
dollar jackpot which left a nice poor
and single what can we say Karma’s a
bitch

them America Lopez had the job of buying

quit his job after co-worker did some
investigating and found out the truth
