In 1998, a $10 million jackpot was won by the 42-year-old Manitoban. But not long after the enormous victory, his life started to go south, leading to suicide.
He celebrated his new opulent lifestyle by spending the winnings on a huge house that soon became a party pad, several fancy cars, and many other luxuries. He lavished a lot of money on his friends as well, frequently giving them extravagant gifts.
Soon after his victory, there were rumors going around in Winnipeg, his hometown, that he had wasted a large portion of the money on drugs and alcohol. He allegedly spent eight grand total on big-screen TVs in one day to give to his family.
