Lottery Curse – 7 Winners and their demise

Lottery curse seems unavoidable for some winners, and that really happened, believe it or not.  Winning a lottery has changed some winner’s life upside down. Some even have a disaster plaguing their life such as divorce, bankruptcy, or even death. A psychological study believes the predictable outcomes of the lottery winners, while the unfortunate events remain as a phenomenon.

Here are 7 examples of lottery curse:
