Poor people have poor ways. Even the powerball couldn’t rescue this doofus.

A $240,000 Bentley, a $250,000 Lamborghini and a $250,000 Ferrari all in the first 4 months. I’m surprised he lasted almost 6 years without going broke.

I saw him on a show about lottery winners and another one called The Curse of the Lottery.

I wonder what the statues of Jake and Elwood Blues are going to sell for...

I read it twice but maybe I missed something. Is he broke? Did he forfeit his winnings because he was arrested for drugs? Sure, the guy bought a few houses and cars but he won $27 mil!

What happened to his money?

I think I saw this guy on a TV show about lottery winners. He was portrayed (or portrayed himself) as one of the responsible winners. Looks like he spoke too soon.

Hope it works!

Almost a repeat of that Contractor in West Virginia who won $350 Million in the Powerball and he has squandered all of it and lost his granddaughter to drugs.

Yeah 27 million. First thing I do is spend $750,000 on 3 new cars. Then with what's left over let me start shooting and snorting my money into my body.

Geez how do spell LOSER

There is a great quote from satirist Dorothy Parker....”If you want to know what God thinks of money.....look at the people he gave it to” LOL!

How do you blow $27 million away? I couldn’t do it. I’d live off of $2 million for 40 years ($50K/yr) and invest/bank the rest.

This is a picture of him with his "bride." Something doesn't add up. With his cars totaling around $750K, and a house for $1.2 million, that left around $25 million. Interest on that money would have been huge. IF those were his only big purchases, that must have been one heck of a party! LOL
