The Dumbest Lottery Winners Of All Time

- Playing the lottery is already incredibly stupid. However, of all the stupid lottery winners, there are going to be a few who are extra dumb, including people who won the jackpot and lost everything. From accidentally throwing a 3 million pound lottery ticket in the bin, to spending a $16.2 million dollar prize in under 90 days, these are the absolute dumbest and stupidest lottery winners of all time.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by "TheRichest" who posted a video on a similar topic in March 2015 titled "10 Stupid Lottery Winners" You can watch their version here - - Розваги
If I ever found out I won the lottery, I would legally change my name to Weather Radar so that anyone who tried to Google me couldn't find anything relevant.
Edit: For the people who keep saying I can claim the money from the lottery anonymously, most states around the United States require you to claim it with your legal name, not anonymous.
That’s funny and smart

My brother won 2nd division in the Euromillion lottery about 12 years ago. With careful management he put his son through university, purchased a near new car, a new motorbike, paid his house off and had a holiday. With careful investment of the remainder he is now back up to the original winning value.
it angers me that these people in the video are too dumb to realise that if you just invested a large portion of the winnings into broad market index's that you'd be making hundreds of thousands a year just off dividends. you'd never have to work again and you'd be rich until you died. instead they choose to spend it all in a year
That’s wonderful 🙏
thats what happens when you dont just spend loads of money on things you dont need and instead spend it wisely
Those are all terrible investments. The house seems like a good idea but that debt is actually better than having it paid off in cash. Sort of like how the lump sum is better than monthly payments from the lotto. And being back up to the original winning value is TERRIBLE for the same reason: inflation.
@@LarsLarsen77 yeah some people prefer to skip paying interests when they can pay cash. That said, seems like what they have going is working for them however terrible you think it might be…

It's amazing to hear how many of these people blame the money for their stupidity 😅 My heart does go out to Andrew though. Once again, not necessarily the money, just a devastating set of events that life threw at that family.
exactly what I was thinking, they say winning the lottery was a curse, because they lacked an once of common sense or self control. That one girl spent 300k on clothes, how is that even possible. She could have a different outfit for every day of the year and would still have money left over.
Andrew is such a kind hearted man , I wish him nothing but happiness
He's dead
That's cold...
Andrew's story was so depressing. That guy was just giving money away but despite all that, things just kept getting worse and worse for him. The fact that he went back to the store clerk and just literally changed the clerk's whole life on a whim is jaw dropping. This dude was definitely some sort of angel walking on earth.
@yes just ignore the bot they only want attention
Bullshit. He was a religious nutjob that wanted attention and to be praised like the deity he worships. He bought clout and fame.

Andrew had fully good intentions and was doing fully good things, giving away money, and spending it responsibly, but in the end he lost what mattered most to him, it breaks my heart and its incredibly sad.
Jose decisions actually made a lot of sense given his circumstances (Including hs former scumbag of a boss), but at least he still got what most of us (Myself included) would consider a very, very large chunk of change. As for Andrew, I mean, God damn, my heart freakin bled for the poor guy🥺

The concept of gambling away millions of dollars is just baffling to me. You already beat the odds by winning the lottery twice, and still piss all that money away. How can people be so stupid?
Feel genuinely sorry for the last guy. Donating his money to charity and churches, changing that clerks' life forever and helping others and ending up like that.

The wisest ones don’t tell anyone, so … yeah. Not gonna happen.
there's good docummentary about that at DW youtube channel. "The wisest" for me was a guy that lived well, was still going to a morning coffe with his previous coworkers, was working on cars as he liked that, lived out of interest of the money he has (probably managed by advisor) and every now an then made huge party for friends, family and whole community : )

When my dad was young, his parents and grandparents took turns on doing the lottery every week with the same numbers. After years of doing this, one faithful day came, when his grandparents were watching the lotto on TV, all of the numbers came up. They all started celebrating and fantasising about all of the cars and luxury boats they were gonna buy. After about 5 mins of celebrating, they called his parents to tell them the great news. His parents were first in shock but then realised something. They said, with tears in their eyes, “We thought it was your turn to buy the tickets”…
I have a similar story, my friends mother a senior has played the same numbers for 20 plus years. My friend called her several times on a Sunday night, then multiple times on Monday morning. All to congratulate her for her numbers finally coming in , her response was ohhhh no . I haven’t answered my phone or went out all weekend I had the flu 😢😢😢

Andrew Whittaker was no saint and not a good man. His demise was caused by his own carelessness with money. Andrew was a gambling addict and he was irresponsible. Andrew was sued by Caesars Atlantic City casino for bouncing $1.5 million worth of checks to cover gambling losses. He also failed to pay money to a woman who had previously sued him. And when the thieves stole $545,000 in cash that Andrew carried around in a suitcase, Andrew was asked why he would carry that much money around with him and Andrew's response was, "Because I can." And he was inside a West Virginia strip club when the thieves stole that money, sounds like karma for trying to buy his way into heaven while engaging in lewd and egotistical behavior. His arrogance and incompetence was his downfall; he was a cocky deviant and should have been more humble.

Andrews story was actually sad. Most of these people let the money get to their head, or were already unstable and/or people with bad spending habits(Or that one girl who was 16 when she won) but Andrew seemed to almost get addicted to giving. To a point that he literally threw the money away, and seemed to keep thousnds of dollars worth of money in his car. It's either that or maybe..... he felt guilty he won. He was already well off and successful and had a great life and maybe felt guilty that he of all people won and overly tried to makeup for it. Can't blame him on that part. It's commendable that he donated so much, but I think it went too far..... but then tragedy struck and that's where I feel sorry for him.

I had a friend back in the 1980s who went to Illinois to buy lottery tickets with another friend of his. They were also picking up tickets for 4 other co-workers. They always went in together on playing that states lottery. We were all from Racine, WI. Well the numbers came in and Mike (my friend) and his buddy discovered they were part of 3 winning tickets of a 60 million dollar jackpot. Him and his buddy went to collect and decided to split their share of 20 million together. Each taking 10 million. But the other four guys claimed they had been swindled. The two were taken to court and ended up losing 90% of their winnings do to fraud. My friend had made some big purchases in advance of receiving his winnings. Everything he bought was repossessed and he lost everything plus court costs and eventually had to file bankruptcy. He had also just married shortly after winning. But seeing that he was now broke and getting nothing, his gold digger wife left him after just 7 months. Glad I wasn't a part of all that.

The problem isn't that people are necessarily bad with handling money, som are, don't get me wrong. The problem is usually, that if they're not used to having a lot of money, they won't know how it's wise to spend them. And a mentality of: "I have a lot of money, so I can do what I always wanted." Is usually not helping matters either because they don't stop to consider when they run out of said money.

A good person always suffers. Is the world rules suddenly
Managing money is a life skill. The more you have the more you need to know. Giving a fortune to poor people who have none of these skills almost always ends in disaster.
I think all these lottery winners skew the picture a lot. People who play lottery tend to be not so good with money, so it's not surprising many screw up after winning

if you watch any other documentary about Andrew you will discover;
- his daughter and grandaughter both overdosed on drugs, he knew they were junkies and kept funding their escapades against all advice.
- that cash money was stolen from his car, both times, whilst he was busy inside a strip club.
- he loved hookers and strippers and a major reason his wife divorced him was because of the constant cheating.
so yeah... he kinda did bring it on himself.
Wouldn't call the last guy dumb. He seem a genuine good guy who deserved every bit of care and affection.
He was robbed the first time by leaving houndreds of thousands of dollars inside his car, while he was on a strip club. While that in itself is not bad, the couple of managers of that same club were plotting to drug him and steal from him (which the authorities managed to avoid).
Her granddaughter's boyfriend died from overdose, and she died from overdose after that. Her daughter died from undisclosed causes, but foul play was not suspected.
He was sued by a casino.
So maybe, just maybe, we don't have the full picture and he indeed made a lot of mistakes.
He was dumb, throwing money out the window? That alone tells you how dumb he was and that he couldn’t handle the money. He had more money than anyone here. Of course he would spend it on things people would consider “good” before falling apart
He left half a million Dollars in his car, he was dumb, generous but dumb.
@@HRDP21 what happened to his daughter and granddaughter is tragic but i don't see how it was his fault. he seems like he had a good heart even though he did some dumb stuff.
@@tomf5823He bought her four cars, and continued giving his granddaughter 2k a week despite knowing that she was using it to spend on drugs and boys.
I feel bad for him too. It is a heartbreaking story, but I can also acknowledge at the same time that he did make stupid decisions.
Sunny never disappointed me with amazing content
The kind of people who do the lottery are generally crap with money, so it's no surprise they end up losing it all due to stupid decisions.
Wow the guys at the end, heartbreaking story. He helped so many and then all that happens. I'm starting to believe you're not supposed to be doing any good in this world or you'll be punished.
*_Nope, money was not the problem._* It was strangers who are financially illiterate knowing your rich. Instead of keeping everything a secret, he bragged on T.V while throwing cash outside the car window.
He does charity, while showing off his wealth which is *_exactly the same_* as a criminal going to church every sunday.
*_Zero Privacy, and Zero secrecy means every bad thing that happened is expected._*
very satanic thinking.
@@OneStepToday *Not many understand psychology.* _Most people perceive good action as good people._ This is why every comment in this video talks about the last guy, and his charity.

That’s because a lot of good people are likely to be christians, and as a Christian, you don’t really have the best luck, but that’s okay, Christian’s face the more cruel side of life, I think that’s God’s way of testing us, because only a person of god wouldn’t change themselves no matter what happens. And when they’re dead, they get to spend eternity in heaven, where nobody has any worries, and you get to see all of the people you lost in your life. As for non-christians and atheists, they’re lives most likely go really good. I think that’s a way that god tests them, because it makes them happy and greatful, stirring you into the right direction. But if that’s not the case, when they’re gone, they’re fate is brutal and theirs no going back, no matter what you say, or do, you’ll be down there for eternity, people might think hell is just a place, and you’re just down there because your bad, and that’s true, but it’s a place they DO NOT wanna be. And I don’t know what happens down there, but the things that do will make you regret every decision you’ve ever made in your entire life. Be a good person, go to church, worship God, Jesus died for us, I’m not a bot, he really did!❤️
As the old saying goes... “No good deed goes unpunished.” 😪

Only in Detroit
For those showing support for Andrew. If I remember correctly the two times his car was broken into, he was in a strip club with 500k in the car each time. There are reasons he got divorced. You have to try real hard to burn through 330 million.
He was disgusting and would offer waitresses money to strip in front of him. Not even ones working in stripclubs/ he’s disgusting
11:35 after some research into this comments section, she died of a drug overdose
He gave her 2000 dollars a week.
It probably wasn't anything to him, but he should have realized that it's a ton to a teenager.
So sad.
I feel awful for Andrew. Andrew literally tried to help people with his earnings, and after that, lost 3 of the most important people to him. I guess it’s like they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
It's so infuriating, really.
He was an idiot though...
Dude was out of control. Yeah but he wanted to help folks but no intelligent person thinks keeping 100K in cash in your car is the way to do it.
He was a kind idiot. I don’t even mean that insultingly. What he did was really really stupid and put a target on his back
@@dinkyboss maybe he was tryna help the robber
They always say "winning the lottery ruined my life", no, your bad choices ruined your life
lol easy for you to say,.. people's character are really tested once they'd be given power and the easiest thing to have power is to have a lot of money. Some people doesn't even know themselves no matter how smart they think they are, it's a complicated scenario where you're not the only one involved but also the people you care and people around you. You have to deal with their flaws and sometimes your old friends turns into enemies. Only mediocre people would say things like it was something easy to deal with without any sort of experience on handling such amount.
except for the last dude
@@naknampucha5236 that’s also easy for you to say. Not everybody is a scoundrel or a drunken idiot on payday. There are people who DO know how to handle money. Trump went bankrupt several times and he’s still a billionaire.
What would I do with lottery winnings? Pay tuition, get the transmission fixed in my car, pay off my credit cards, and get a modest home, nothing too posh and nothing too barebones.
I agree completely. Blaming a lottery win on your life being ruined is asinine. I think that money can change somebody and ruin their life, but none of these cases sound like that. They were all just awful with their money and bought the most expensive things to flex and then lost their money in the process. That’s not being ruined by a lottery, that’s being ruined by your own lack of control.
The last guy is the only one I really feel sorry for. And the couple before William Post.
@@brianaguilar8283 Well, that's because Trump knows how to handle people and if you know how to run business or company, you gotta deal with people, lots of lots of people. You don't become a millionaire or billionaire out of nothing, you got to have a both a lot of EQ and IQ on that sense. That's why so many smart people are talented yet fail cause they don't have that sense of EQ to handle, deal or cooperate with people.
Lots of people have a low EQ and IQ on money matters especially when money came when you least expected it. It's foolish to expect to be more matured right away cause it comes with a lot of experience. Now, if they were smart enough with their life, they wouldn't even putting money on lottery ticket on the first place. Saying that not everybody is a scoundrel or drunken idiot on Payday only applies to people that knows how to put their lives together. I mean why would sane people bet on lottery ticket when you can work yourself out away from poverty??
I had won a 800 £ worth lottery in 2007 when I completed my education,
I invested my money carefully,
And ended up turning this money into more than 80,000 £ worth property,
Looking forward to upgrade this property further.
Wow, nice!

One of the best collection of horror stories!
we had a guy here in australia that was so dumb it was in the newspaper. dude won 30 million blew it inside of 3 weeks and was applying for government payments lol.
Damn he could've been set for life, living away from everyone, enjoying nature
That last one crushed me. Seems like he had a big heart and he was clearly using so much of his money to do good in the world. I wish there were more lottery winners and rich people like him, and I hope nothing but good comes their way.
Didn't deserve the problems he got
The tragedy of his granddaughter and daughter dying wasn’t linked to the lottery win. According to the video.
@@TheMusicianTom Either way it was an even bigger set of tragedies than he was already going through with getting robbed, so it all makes for a very heart-wrenching situation.

Andrews story just hammers home that no matter how good a of a person you are life doesn’t give a f*ck
reading his wiki, it does seem he put himself in jeopardy by visiting a lot of strip clubs. thats when his stuff was stolen out of his car,both times at a strip club. i dont feel its a moral lapse to visit a strip club but i got ripped off $100 at one and ive only been twice... you can get some shady ones. his family died due to drug overdoses. its possible they could have still had access to drugs regardless of the winnings
This is the thing most of people dont get, we live in a cruel world, you either EAT or you get EATEN
Dude was very careless, man. He showed off his wealth to everyone, sure he got robbed. Even well-intended people can be ill-advised.
There hasn't been a more truthful title on a UA-cam video in the history of the platform. 👍
This is why the concept of lottery doesn't seem right to me. To really enjoy your money, you need to earn it yourself because then you'd know how to manage your own money and youll actually deserve it. You don't just give someone a fish, you teach that person how to fish!
Winning the lottery is honestly probably one of the most exciting yet terrifying thing anyone can go through. I honestly would have no clue how to invest the winnings, what to waste it on, gift it to, etc. without screwing myself over.
Pay off your debts first, then invest it to watch it grow
@@brianaguilar8283 I'd get a lawyer first and immediately handle any BS from the IRS but besides that I SHOULD invest... problem is I could see myself burning it away. I never had a huge amount of money to piss away before and I could see my financial management getting thrown out because of a stupid huge amount of money. I don't know if I could psychologically handle it.
I'm sure I'd be OK, I know I wouldn't be pissing it all in few years, it all depends on how huge prize is, but first thing I would do is buy house or apartment, if prize is very big, I would buy new house in nice area, would hide that I won and just continue working at my shitty job, without worrying about future, slowly donate to orphanages and oh what is that called where old people who don't have anyone go, oh yea and I would buy land rover discovery. Maybe give some money to one friend I have, and help my mother and sister out.
Even now I am minimalist, I don't dream about some fancy expensive cars or mansions, only expensive thing I dream about is private jet, because I love aviation and flying, so it depends on winning maybe I would buy some plain, maybe some cessna.
I don't understand how people can spend all that money that fast.
I work in the online casino industry. Couple of times I saw people spinning for a couple of euros and hitting a jackpot of ~250k - 1kk. In all cases I witnessed, the 'winners' were losing all the money in a few weeks tops. If you won't make a big money by yourself with hard work, then most likely you won't be able to handle with the bigger amount.
First thing would be building apartment complex. Then buy homes to rent. Then open a bar called The Hall. Invest the rest and keep working my regular job. Oh and a trip to Ireland.

'Money is not what makes people happy'
Damn, You can literally feel the emotion
thats the best lie rich people ever got poor people to believe. Does it make you instantly happy? nope. would it solve 90% of the populations problems overnight? yeppp
I generally agree with the statement, while yes, it’s nice and very helpful to have loads of money
But at what cost(pun intended)will that be? Distancing yourself from family? Losing everything?
Yeah having a lot of money is certainly nice, but will that matter if you end up having nobody?
Money doesn’t make you happy, what you do with it, and who you spend it with is what makes you happy
But it can make me happy
My life was ruined by not winning the lottery.
people: Winning the lottery might not be all it's cracked up to be
also them: *Makes extremely predictable mistakes and stupidly waste their money constantly*
My Mom asked my Dad to get a lottery ticket one day, with specific instructions on which numbers to pick. It was based off some combination of all our birthdays or favorite numbers or something. So anyway, my Dad goes and gets a ticket, but not the specific numbers, and those numbers my Mom asked for ended up winning a couple million. I'm sure she wasn't happy to put it lightly, and it has always been her go to "I Told you so" or anytime we say how awesome Dad is, she'll always make sure it bring it up, and it's in an incredibly playful way, almost like you would say "Well did they bring you to a game" or something so it's not like it's some spiteful memory of resentment. But I do always find it funny whenever I hear something about the Lottery.

Good and stupid aren't mutually exclusive. All people who play the lottery are stupid. It's half tax on the poor and half crowd funding for drug dealers & scammers.
Yea the first thing he did was donate 10% to charity and even more. Its so sad to see where he ended up. But at the end of the day money aside, the amount of people he helped is more than likely astronomical. So be it the end was sad, when he could, he helped.

@@PeterKnagge sadly, you’re the second reply to mock him instead of making any statement worth considering. People here just to make fun of him really shouldn’t contribute to the discussion.
"Money doesn't make people happy" is what people who've never worried about how they are going to pays bills say
It's a balance. Not having to worry about bills, medical expenses, living in a less stressful area, not worrying about the cost is an appliances breaks down etc. All is happiness and well-being. Excessive lifestyle doesn't bring general happiness though. You can be a miserable person on a huge yacht easily. There's a threshold.
@Despond yea but there's a big difference between depressed on a yacht and depressed while also not knowing how you're going to pay rent, and not knowing how bills are getting paid each month is causing a lot of people depression
A friend said the moment i hit the lottery, my family and friends will never see me again. Wise words. Lol
Andrews story isn't stupid. He did everything right and all he could to help. In the end people like his wife will never be happy and life will still throw you curve balls. Much love to you Andrew
Leaving 500k in the car and getting it stolen is dumb. Then leaving another 200k not learning from his mistake is incredibly stupid.
He did everything right???? Dude was throwing cash out his car like an imbecile. There were plenty of intelligent ways he could help people with out flaunting his wealth and doing the most.
He didn't do one thing right. The one and only right thing he needed to do was invest his money accordingly. Then giveaway portions of the money that you earn off those investments. (Never spending the principal) You can still give away and help people but you don't lose your wife, you don't waste all your money and you don't make it on this video.
@@dinkyboss still better than donating to charity organizations. Basically in $1 you donate, 1 penny goes to they actual cause.
@@wizardgaming6759 that obviously depends on the organization though. Hell he could have started one 🤔
I think Sunny mentioned before the "Slow success builds character, fast success builds ego."
I guess some level of analogy can be made to money. Slow build up of money creates financial discipline, responsibility, and awareness of one's position while fast build of money (whether through lottery or borrowing) builds the foolish mindset that you can do anything you want and get away from any problems you may have just because money is on your side.

For a change it would be great to hear about smart lottery winners.
You won’t hear about them because they’ll have their identity a secret
smart winners hide away in the shadow, acting it never happened
Be Amazed has a video of ppl being smart with their wins, if I recall correctly
I new a girl that won something like $40m at 19. She hid it from everyone and said it made her unable to trust anyone or have connection even with her family.
Doing the wrong thing is often rewarded. They say “just keep doing the right thing a you’ll be fine”. But actions like stealing or lying can often have great rewards. The world isn’t fair.
“Winning the lottery isn’t what it’s cracked up to be” after wasting almost all your earnings through gambling. Crazy statement lol.
