EVELYN THE GAMBLER
In Evelyn’s case, lightning certainly stuck twice. She won the lottery twice. It was a back-to-back win in 1985 and 1986, totaling to an impressive $5.4 million. However, she was a gambler. Aside from splurging on luxury and bad investments, she gambled the rest away in Atlanta. Now, she’s back to living in a trailer park. She could have just been grateful for her blessings and talked to a smart investor.
