10 Dumbest Lottery Winners Ever!

From shopaholics to straight-up lunatics, here are ten of the dumbest lottery winners ever!

10: Michael Carrol
Michael Carroll purchased a lotto ticket at the age of 19 and won the $9.7 million jackpot in the year 2002. That is a lot of money to win at the age of 19. And while to somebody sensible, winning around $10 million at the age of 19 would mean set for life, Michael is now 36 and working seven days a week after he blew the entire fortune.

9: Americo Lopes
Americo Lopes is the typical greedy scumbag. He and his coworkers at a construction company in New Jersey had been taking part in a lottery pool since 2007. In 2009, Lopes discovered that he had the winning ticket in his hand.

8: Tonda Dickerson
Tonda Dickerson was working in an Alabama Waffle House when her life changed forever. The year was 1999 and one of her customers gave her a lottery ticket as a tip. At the time, Dickerson was a divorced woman in her late 20s.

7: Evelyn Marie Adams
You would think that after somebody won the lottery the first time, they would stop buying lottery tickets. But a woman named Evelyn Marie Adams won the New Jersey State lottery one year, then hit the jackpot again the next year for a total of $3.9 + $1.4 million. This was back in 1986, and nobody has had such amazing luck since.

6: Willie Hurt
Willie Hurt won the lottery in 1989. He won $3.1 million in the Michigan Super Lotto draw. But after only two years, Willie was not only broke, he was also accused of killing a human being. He was arraigned in September of 1991 on open murder charges for the death of Wendy Elizabeth Kimmey, who had been shot in her head.

5: Billie Bob Harrell Jr.
Billie Bob won the lottery in June of 1997. He won $31 million from the Texas lottery. At the time, Billie Bob had been stocking the shelves at his local hardware store and struggling to provide for his wife and their three children.

4: Luke Pittard
Imagine working at McDonald's, winning the lottery, and then going back to work at McDonald's. This seems like something out of a person's worst nightmare. But according to Luke Pittard, he went back to work at McDonald's because he got bored.

3: William Post III
William Post III won $16.2 million from the lottery. He also died many years later due to respiratory failure, apparently with a heart full of despair. He had not had a great life between winning the lottery in 1988 and dying in 2006.

2: Vivian Nicholson
In 1961, Vivian Nicholson was 25 years old, divorced, a mother to three children, and she worked in West Yorkshire making only around $5 a week. However, everything changed in just one day. Her and her second husband, who at the time had been a miner, won roughly $5 million worth of today's currency.

1: Callie Rogers
Callie Rogers was the youngest person ever in Britain to win the lottery. She was only 16 years old and living in foster care when she won the lottery jackpot in 2003. She'd be making roughly $5 an hour as a checkout girl, and immediately quit her job.
