The top 20 dumbest lottery winners in history did not live happily ever after, today we look at their failure to manage their money in a correct fashion.

20 — David Lee Edwards

Winning a share of the $27 million Powerball jackpot in 2002, David Lee Edwards thought all his luck had come at once.

He went on the mother of all spending sprees, purchasing a large house and buying a fleet of luxury supercars.

Unfortunately his wild partying got him involved in the world of narcotics and just five years after winning the jackpot, the money was gone.

Things got worse and when his wife left him and he continued his lifestyle of partying before he eventually died in 2013 at the age of just 58, alone and completely broke.

19 — Bill Bob Harrell
