hey millionaire we all know the same lottery winners have a natural talent for spending
their money on some of the most ridiculous things possible however a select group has
decided to spend their fortunes on some of the strangest and most unimaginable things
in this video we are going to show you the craziest things lottery winners have spent
their money on believe me when i say you'll be shocked with number one and no this is not just
to get you to watch until the end although that's a good idea so stick around let's go
number 10 on a female wrestling tv show in 2008 jonathan vargas a 19 year old construction worker
from gaston south carolina won the powerball grand prize netting a whopping 35.3 million dollars
after becoming a winner jonathan bought his mother a new house and used part of his money
to create his own television show fulfilling the fantasy many teenagers have dreamed of in 2009
he founded resolicious with his partners johnny caffarella and jimmy hart the company produced
a wrestling television show called resolutious takedown which featured scantily clad female
wrestlers in comedy sketches it wasn't the best of ideas and it never made it to its second season
i guess he could have predicted the outcome after choosing such a classy name number nine
building a water park cudi and his wife linda decided to donate a portion of their winnings
to constructing a water park in honor of their parents after winning a share of 28.7
million on a 319 million mega millions jackpot in 2011. according to the albany times union
they contributed 200 000 to the construction of spray park in green island new york number eight
donating to politicians after winning 18 million in 1993 janet lee a south korean
wig maker donated a large portion of the money to the democratic party this landed her a spot
on bill clinton's dining table however that wasn't enough to keep her fortune afloat
she turned out to be a little too charitable her donations combined with a gambling addiction and
credit card debt led to her declaring bankruptcy in 2001. number seven on marijuana legalization
on november 13th 2012 robert bob urb took home an incredible 25 million dollar prize after winning
the canadian lotto max sweepstakes and began sharing his wealth with family and friends
but his kindness didn't stop there as a marijuana activist and devoted smoker he pledged one million
to support the legalization of marijuana use just imagine what you can do if you had that kind of
money in just one year erb spent 125 thousand dollars to help organize 420 day events in
honor of the famous holiday organized by marijuana enthusiasts where smokers from all over the planet
gather on april 20th at 4 20 to light one up as if that wasn't enough sixty thousand dollars was
spent designing the website for said events sixty thousand dollars on lodging forty thousand dollars
on merchandising and about twenty thousand dollars on advertising now that's what i call passion it
seems like a dumb way to spend money but before continuing you tell me what would you buy first
if you suddenly won 25 million dollars let us know your answer in the comments below number six
on a loan not just any loan though pay close attention to this one why would you
need to take out a loan when you just became a multi-millionaire that's what everyone wonders
when they hear the story of suzanne mullins although suzanne really needed the money when
she took out a loan we are still unsure why she managed to spend more than 48 thousand dollars a
year if she already had another source of income in 1993 she won 4.2 million dollars and her prize
was divided into 20 annual payments however not long after susan's win her budget plans went south
leaving her out of pocket overnight but suzanne had a brilliant idea she decided to take out a
loan that would maintain her quality of life she didn't decide to borrow from any lender though
that's right she decided to borrow from the same lottery that had made her a millionaire
after receiving her 198 thousand dollar loan susan could access all of her money thanks to a change
in the lottery rules unfortunately she wasn't smart enough about that money and she ended up
committing the reckless act of never repaying her debts to the town's lottery and never paying back
the money she had borrowed the company of course ended up suing the woman and she tried to excuse
herself by saying she needed the money to pay for treatment for a family matter we doubt it
did her any good we're halfway there so hang tight because you're about to see some crazy expenses
number five on breast augmentation when she was just 21 years old sarah cockings won a 3 million
pounds jackpot from a uk lottery in april of 2005. and yes she didn't miss the opportunity to
squander her money after spoiling her loved ones by buying her parents a gigantic house with four
bedrooms sarah decided to give her sisters two gifts that would boost their confidence breast
augmentation surgeries at the modest price of 1200 pounds per boob at least that's one gift you don't
get every christmas i know that amount probably doesn't represent much of her total winnings
but yet when she asked what she was spending her prize money on that was part of the answer
so i thought it was worth mentioning number four destroying their own vehicles if you had
the chance to go to a demolition derby you'll know that organizing this kind of event isn't
exactly cheap especially as many of the vehicles there end up in pieces a business that can pay off
badly in the hands of an inexperienced young man who spends more money than he generates in 2002
michael carroll became the winner of 9.7 million pounds or as i like to say a whole lot of money
after winning the national lottery the 19 year old began living like a king earning the endorsement
of king of chaffs and the lotto lout carroll began spending his money at an alarming rate squandering
it on houses cars parties drugs and women but if anything it was the misuse of his vehicles that
made him a household name after he destroyed most of the cars he had bought on a demolition derby
which he organized in his backyard however it wasn't the business that sunk the king of chops
but his very bad money management and terrible decisions which led him to spend time behind bars
twice now let's get to the good stuff we're getting closer to that number one that will
leave you completely speechless so keep watching number three on compulsive gambling if there's
one reason that many big time winners never get to enjoy their money it's because of their gambling
addiction i know not everyone suffers from this but it is true for many lottery winners which
is true for evelyn adams in 1985 and 1986 evelyn adams won the lottery twice in a row and earned
a total of 5.4 million dollars which is quite an accomplishment unfortunately evelyn couldn't
resist the temptation to keep going to the gambling house and eventually she ended up burning
through her savings after having numerous gambling sprees in the atlantic city casino and failing
in some business ventures her fortune eventually vanished into thin air in 2001 apparently she was
seen living in a trailer park with no asset to her name probably regretting all the money she wasted
over the past decades can you imagine yourself winning the lottery twice and back to back that's
definitely something you'll only see once in a lifetime number two a never-ending shopping spree
viv nichols a british lady won a fortune in britain's football pools in 1961 152 thousand
pounds which is the equivalent of 3 million today she immediately ordered dresses from harris
purchased several luxury cars and traveled throughout the united states and europe
after her passing in 2015 her closet was full of oats couture but her bank accounts were empty
and fortune was nowhere to be found although to be fair it was long for us to expect the money
to be around still and finally number one on the creation of a drug empire how many lottery winners
have ended up throwing their money away because of drugs probably more than many television media
outlets would be willing to talk about however ronnie music jr's case is not only unique but is
completely unlike anything you've ever heard of after winning three million dollars in georgia
he used all that money to fund a drug empire investing in large amounts of methamphetamine
apparently our friend from georgia had watched too much breaking bad before winning the lottery
as you might imagine ronnie's grand adventure as a drug dealer didn't last long by 2016 he
was under arrest having won the prize just a year before agents who raided ronnie's property found
nearly 1 million dollars in methamphetamine along with firearms ammunition cartridges and
several vehicles he was convicted of federal drug and weapons charges and sentenced to 21
years in prison now the question is what would you do if you want 3 million dollars
