David Lee Edward, an ex-con from Kentucky, won $27 million in the Powerball jackpot and initially visited financial advisors about how to manage the money well. However, instead of taking their advice, he and his wife decided to blow all their money on expensive stuff, including drugs. Due to their drug use, they both contracted hepatitis. 12 years later, he ended up on hospice and died at the age of 58. His financial advisor claimed that if he had listened to him, he would have been hauling in $85,000 a month.
