Though we’ve all heard the saying “money can’t buy happiness”, there is perhaps no better example of the cliché in action than when it comes to those that strike it rich in the lottery. While the idea of finding oneself an overnight millionaire seems like a dream come true, for many the money proves to be too much to handle, leading them down a path of social, emotional, and — most ironic of all — financial ruin. Though this is of course not always the case, it’s happened enough times that many people refer to winners as being affected by a so-called “lottery curse.” And unfortunately, for some, the final cost of winning the lottery ends up being far darker than simply losing all their money.

Today we wanted to take a look at 3 cases like this, focusing on lottery winners who met tragic ends after striking it rich.
