What’s mine is yours, right? Apparently not for this couple. Denise Rossi won $1.3 million in the California Lottery in 1996, took the money, and divorced her husband. Unfortunately, secrets never stay a secret and he eventually found out about her big win and sued her for not disclosing the information. The judge found her guilty and she was forced to give her everything.

Janite Lee was the owner of a wig shop in St. Louis when she hit gold and won $18 million in the Illinois Lottery. With such a fortune, Janite decided to donate her funds to several organizations and political candidates. It became too much and with the annual-after tax-payments, she ended up with her more debt then she could handle. She filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 2001, and to top it all off lost $350,000 in one year of gambling.
