And yet, once again, another druggie on the list. David Lee Edwards won $12 million on Powerball. This was the amount he got after splitting it with his friends. What did he buy? He bought an expensive watch, a collection of medieval weapons, a fiber optics installation company, and of course, a jet. He also set aside a good portion of it for drugs. His body succumbed to the abuse as he died of Hepatitis A. He died in debt and penniless. To make matters worse, his name is on record after a few run-ins with the law.
