Renovating a school
Gloria Mackenzie won a whopping AUD$762 million dollars in the US Powerball.
With plenty of cash to spend, Gloria decided she wanted to use some of her money to renovate her old high school that was desperate for repairs to keep the doors open.
With a AUD2.5 million dollar donation from Gloria, the school was able to get the renovations it needed.
Gambling
We’ve all heard the saying you’re more likely to get struck by lightning than to win the lotto.
Well, Evelyn Adams didn’t just win once, but twice!
The lucky lady didn’t stay too lucky for long, spending all her winning cash in Atlantic City casinos. Evelyn ended up gambling away all of her cash and now lives in a trailer.
A Water Park
John Kutey won a seventh of a share from the AUD$411 million prize money from the US Mega Millions jackpot in 2011.
With a bank account full of cash, John invested his money into demolishing a local pool in New York and installing a brand new waterpark, worth over AUD$250,000.
Partying
Gerald Muswagon won AUD$10 million in the Super jackpot lottery and quickly started spending it on his party lifestyle. Gerald hosted huge events, bought copious amounts of alcohol, and quickly drained it all away.
Giving it away
Allen and Violet Large, a couple in their 70s, won over AUD$11 million and chose to give it all away.
The couple decided they preferred to be giving, rather than receiving. After taking care of their families, the couple donated their winnings to a range of services, including churches and cemeteries.
A large portion of the winning money was also donated to the hospital in which the wife had undergone cancer treatment.
A Summer Camp
Les Robins, a primary school teacher from Fond du Lac, won over $115 million dollars in the Powerball jackpot and decided to create his own summer camp. He purchased 226 acres and created Camp Winnegator, a camp where all children have the opportunity to spend time outdoors playing sport, hiking, and camping.
