Found this interesting list of tragic lottery winners:

That reminds me of a short film that came up in one of my video feeds (can’t find it now). It was about old Soviet Russia where they had a live game show where someone could win American citizenship and money to go to the U.S. All the questions were about America.
This young Russian knew all about America and got a chance to be on the show. He was excited he could become an American and be freed from his communist country.
They were down to the final answer to win it all and he knew the answer. He ended up screwing it up and the other contestant finished the answer and won American citizenship, the money, and a trip to the U.S.
As soon as the cameras went offline, the game show host deemed the winner a traitor and shot her in the head to the young Russian’s horror.

I imagine they also tracked him pretty close from then on out.
