Curse of the lottery: The tragic stories of mega millions jackpot winners

A thread 🧵

Abraham Shakespeare

Authorities say Shakespeare, 47, was shot twice in the chest by a .38-caliber pistol sometime in April 2009. He wasn't reported missing until November 2009. His body was found under a slab of cement in a backyard in January 2010.

Tampa woman DeeDee Moore was later found guilty in Shakespeare’s murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Prosecutors argued that Moore, 40, befriended Shakespeare before he vanished. After Shakespeare had given away most of his money to people who simply asked for it, Moore agreed to manage the little he had left, but instead, prosecutors said, stole his winnings and killed him. David Lee Edwards

Edwards was unemployed when he won part of a $280 million lottery jackpot in 2001.

He was an ex-convict, and at the time of his big win it was the third largest lottery pot in U.S. history. Edwards, originally form Kentucky, received a lump sum of $27 million after taxes.

Edwards was convicted of robbery in 1981 and served out his sentence in 1997. Several years after winning the lottery, he was evicted from his million-dollar home in Florida after failing to pay back dues to the homeowners association.

The New York Daily News reports Edwards lost of all his money in just a few years and ended up living in a storage unit surrounded by human feces.

He died at age 58 in 2013 at the Community Hospice Care Center in Ashland, Kentucky.
