In short, as of now, the guy who won the

thousand words into one sentence. won the 1.6 billion yuan, and it will not be better for the rest of your life...
Mercury News has found a bloody lesson. He once won the power ball Power Ball Award, the highest lottery in history at that time, Jack, the senior of , .31 billion US dollars award Whittaker,
details how this life winner who originally had a well-off and happy home was "destroyed" his life by the lottery jackpot....
Okay, let's talk about it from the beginning....
Before winning the lottery jackpot of 300 million, Whittaker was the boss of a construction company in West Virginia. In 2002, he was 55 years old and relied on him. In the first half of his life, accumulated tens of millions of wealth for himself. Although it was not a big deal, it was enough for the family to live a happy and comfortable life. At that time, he had a happy family and lovely children. No matter how he looked, he was a representative of the "American Dream" and a winner in the eyes of others...
However, Whittaker seemed to have a nearly perfect life, but because of the lottery. It changed completely...
On Christmas morning in 2002, Whittaker stopped at a restaurant on the street for breakfast. After filling the car with gas, he bought a Powerball lottery of about $100. Whittaker has no hobby of buying lottery tickets on weekdays. This set of lottery tickets is actually just a bonus for Whittaker to buy Christmas gifts for the children. Regarding whether he can win the lottery , he didn't care at all...
On Christmas Eve, the lottery results of the Powerball Powerball lottery were about to come out. The family sat around in front of the TV. When the winning numbers were announced one by one, the Whittaker family couldn't suppress their excitement and was so happy that they were about to jump up because they finally won the Powerball Powerball Lottery , which was 314 million US dollars before tax, ! !
Whittaker could not believe his eyes. .314 billion US dollars, the highest single lottery prize in history at that time, was actually won by himself inadvertently with a $100 lottery!
This unexpected huge prize is simply the best Christmas gift in 2002! After calming down, the next day, Whittaker took his wife, daughter, and granddaughter happily to receive the prize. The next thing he had to do was to plan how to spend this huge wealth that had fallen from the sky...
It is not that Whittaker has never seen money. At that time, he earned 10 million yuan a year and knew that making money was not easy, and excessive squandering would have serious consequences. At the beginning of , he could still keep his mind clear...
just got a huge bonus (the one I got after tax was 110 million US dollars), and Whittaker's first gratitude came to mind.He was indeed full of gratitude. He believed that he could own this huge prize was a gift from God. He first decided to be grateful to God, so gave 10% of his income to the church for charity , and also used 4 million to establish the Whittaker charity fund. Whittaker announced that the charity fund is a non-profit institution and is committed to providing food and clothing to low-income families in remote areas of Virginia...
Secondly, he also thanked the convenience store manager who brought him good luck and sold him the lucky lottery ticket. directly gave a house worth 120,000 yuan, a Grand Cherokee and a cash check of 40,000 yuan!
Not long after, Whittaker was interviewed by local TV stations. In the program, he swore that he hoped to become a role model for winners, convey goodwill and beauty to people with practical actions, and also make latecomers proud of winning their own wealth, rather than the troubles and panic that fell from the sky.
Their family will live like in the past, as if nothing has changed. On the contrary, because of their financial abundance, Whittaker will spend more time with his family. "My phone is always online, my front door is always open, I will always listen to God's guidance, and he is still guiding me forward..."
It can be said that during the time when he first received the huge prize, Whittaker was still very sober, as if more than 100 million yuan in his account did not make him lose his direction...
However, the huge amount of money in his pocket than before was like a little devil, which had been seducing Whittaker....Whittaker finally failed to resist the temptation of luxury.
On New Year's Eve from 2002 to 2003, Whittaker appeared in the local "Pink Pony Strip Club". He spent a lot of money and spent 50,000 US dollars that night...
As the winner of the Powerball lottery, the manager of the strip club certainly knew this local celebrity. The manager couldn't believe his eyes. The person in front of him was Whittaker, who claimed to be a model in the newspaper: "Is this occasion possible for someone like him? You know, people here can beat someone up for $5... .I walked over and said to him, take the money away, don't come in the future, this is not your place..."
However, the charm of the huge bonus has been quietly changing. Not only Whittaker himself, but the people around him have also begun to change...
Whittaker's phone number began to ring frequently, and basically all kinds of people are asking him for money in different ways:
Someone wants to repair the roof and ask him to donate money, rebuild a library to find donations, buy books for children, and even perform castration surgery on his pet cats and dogs, but he even asked him to get money! !
At the beginning, Whittaker was willing to take out the money. Gradually, he found that the 's own money was taken for granted by people, and the thing began to get out of control.
Some people who heard that they had asked Whittaker for money before, but now they couldn't get the money. They were very unbalanced. They began to get more and more money to ask Whittaker for money, but they just robbed it...
One morning, a young man broke into Whittaker's office, and when they came in, they shouted at him: " I'm unemployed ! I need a job!"
Whittaker then said that he could provide him with a The young man simply stopped hiding his own construction company and said, "No, I don't want to work! I want money! Now!"
....
Soon, in the summer of 2003, Whittaker's charity fund was closed because he couldn't resist the crowds of people who were asking for help...
people who asked for money were in groups, and those who robbed them were not willing to fall behind.
August 5, 2003, less than a year after winning a huge prize in Whittaker, that night he parked his Lincoln car outside the "Pink Pony Strip Club". Not long after, the more than 500,000 US dollars of cash he put in the car in was smashed open the window and snatched away...
Whittaker himself continued to have fun in the undressing club and never returned all night. This once loved his wife, grandpa The model husband of the senior level has fallen into depravity...
Whittaker disagreed with this. He issued a statement through his agent: "My private life belongs to my personal privacy, and I don't need to feel guilty about my life."
In less than a year, this winning man who is determined to be a role model is far from his former vow. However, what no one expected was that his own fallen was just the beginning.
Whittaker's bottom line in his private life was not maintained, and he eventually divorced his first wife who had been with him for decades.
Whittaker failed to keep his marriage, but he still wanted to keep his own industry. He invested a lot of money in his construction company, expanding the scale by three times, and his annual output value reached more than 30 million.
In the previous year, I have been donating variously to outsiders, squandering money from all kinds of people, and squandering money from strip clubs, and people have robbed 500,000 yuan.
doesn't leave the money for your family, it seems a bit unreasonable. Soon, my daughter and granddaughter also started asking Whittaker for a lot of money.
Whittaker Unexpectedly, the first thing that was destroyed by money was his granddaughter Brandi, who was in adolescence.
Brandi's mother is Whittaker's only daughter. When Brandi was still very young, her father committed suicide. Her mother had been working hard to treat her illness because of lymphoma. Since then, Brandi has been living with her grandparents.
Whittaker originally loved this granddaughter very much. Since he won the grand prize, everyone around Brandi's friends are talking about her grandfather, saying that her grandfather has endless money to spend. Gradually, the 16-year-old girl's psychological defenses began to lose control, and she began to try different ways to ask for money.
couldn't help but ask for it repeatedly and started his own defense. He started to give his granddaughter a lot of cash from time to time. The 16-year-old girl had a pocket money of up to $7,000 for per week; sometimes, Brandi could get $5,000 for one word at a time. In addition to pocket money, the garage at home is also full of sports cars that my grandfather bought for her...
Because of her luxury and generous life, Brandi made a lot of friends. Everyone knows that she has a mine at home and has a grandfather who won the biggest lottery prize in history. Brandi also quickly got her first boyfriend Tribble. The first gift she gave her was a limited edition basketball T-shirt from Michael . Jordan . After
, Tribble began to hang a full of gold chains and expensive sneakers on his feet. Of course, all of this was paid by the rich grandfather of Brandi's family. Brandi and her boyfriend Tribble were thinking about how to spend money and have fun all day long...
bored, they began to turn their attention to drugs. Because of money, Brandi easily bought a large number of drugs, and the couple quickly became addicted to themselves.
, who is busy making money and squandering at the same time, Whittaker finally notices his granddaughter's condition. He thought of all ways to get his granddaughter to quit drugs, and the drug rehabilitation treatment was repeated three times alone. However, Brandi's drug addiction was quite serious, and his boyfriend Tribble's drug addiction reached a point where it was difficult to quit. His family has been trying hard to guide him away from Brandi and away from drugs,
However, all efforts were useless.
In September 2003, in a house under Whittaker's name, Tribble died there due to excessive injection of drugs.
After her boyfriend's death, Brandi became extremely autistic and depressed, and ran away from home soon after. The news of Brandi's disappearance made his family anxious. Whittaker and his ex-wife appeared on major TV stations to find people, but there was no reply for a long time.
A month has passed,
Three months has passed,
A year has passed...
Whittaker and his ex-wife tried all kinds of ways and never found out the whereabouts of their granddaughter...
Whittaker began to worry more and more. He had insomnia all day and night, and even dreamed that Brandi was dead...
Whittaker was the most afraid of. On December 20, 2004, Brandi's body was found in a remote wood. She was wrapped in a plastic bag and . Her body detected a large amount of cocaine . However, there is no conclusion on the cause of her death so far, and no one has been prosecuted for her death.
Whittaker has grown a lot aged overnight. He stayed in front of the curtain of his granddaughter for a long time and refused to leave. for the first time he began to believe that the $314 million prize that fell from the sky was not an unexpected gift, but a "curse" , cursing him and his family that they would not have a good end.
After the death of his granddaughter, Whittaker devoted most of his energy to finding the murderer who "killed his granddaughter", and at this time, Whittaker's life was still degenerate.
In addition to frequent nightclubs, he also got into the bad habit of gambling . During this period, he kept lawsuits. He was first sued by the casino in 2005 and owed 1.5 million yuan in gambling debts, and in 2007, he was sued again for owing money from the strip club.
Divorced his wife, and his granddaughter died young again. Whittaker, under multiple blows, had no intention of operating it. His construction company's career began to deteriorate and his business was shrinking day by day.
And the curse of the biggest prize in history seems to be continuing.
In 2009, Whittaker's 42-year-old daughter was found dead in Dennis, West Virginia, and the cause of death is unknown! police conducted a detailed investigation, ruled out all possibilities, and concluded that Whittaker's daughter's death did not seem to be forged. In this way, Whittaker once again gave the black-haired man a white-haired man. He lost two descendants one after another. At this time, he was completely alone...
The disaster is not the same. His original bonus of has been squandered by 100 million yuan. He had to get up to work hard on the ground early and late, hoping that the salted fish will turn over.
Whittaker's curse seems to have not ended yet. On December 2, 2016, his and his wife's house were burned completely. The worst thing is that this house has not been insured yet.
From getting rich overnight to losing all his relatives and losing all his relatives, it took Whittaker only 6 years to finish his life.
Now, Whittaker, who is over 70 years old, is still working hard to make a living. He is eager to turn around again with lottery.
Now, he spends $600 a week to buy lottery tickets . He firmly believed that if he could win the jackpot once, he would not lose as badly as the last time.
What’s a pity is that there is no “if” in this world….
