While searching for a lotto news. I found a sad story about a lotto winner way back 1997 who lost it all.
This kind of story always reminds me, if winning a lotto jackpot is a blessing or a curse ?
By the way today is Friday the 13th.
Sad story of a lotto winner.
When Lawrence Candlish won £5.5 million (US$8.8 million) playing the National Lottery in 1997 it promised to make his dreams come true, including buying himself the double hip replacement he needed.
The generous factory worker immediately shared his fortune with his many relatives, shelling out £370,000 (US$590,000) to buy seven houses in the same street in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear so that they could be close together.
Eventually he moved with his family to Benidorm on Spain's Costa Blanca to make a new life.
But now the 36-year-old Newcastle United fan is back in England and admits he has "blown the lot."
The penniless Geordie's Spanish villa has been seized by the bank and he has abandoned his Irish-themed pub.
His sister has also lost her Spanish home and his mother's may follow. It is reported that Lawrence, 36, was so broke he had to borrow his taxi fare to the airport.
Since the hard-drinking Geordie's win, which put him at 61 on the Sunday Times rich list, fortune has not been kind to him.
His best friend died, and in 2000 he and his family fled Tyneside after thugs torched his house and his sister's car.
Then, in 2009, his beloved father was found hanged in the home his son bought him.
