The DUMBEST Things Lottery Winners Ever Spent Their Money On

A man won $27 million in the Powerball and spent it on a Learjet, a Lamborghini, 200 medieval swords, and life-sized Blues Brothers statues. He was broke in five years. And he's not even the wildest story on this list. From buying plots of land on Mars to building a backyard demolition derby racetrack to carrying $545,000 in cash to a strip club and getting robbed, these are the 10 dumbest things lottery winners have ever spent their money on. Some of these purchases are hilarious. Some are tragic. And one of them actually turned into a profitable business, which might be the most surprising twist of all.
