Lottery Winner Burned Through $50 Million Of Prize Money By Spending $131k A Week

One lottery winner burned through a staggering $50 million of his $200 million jackpot by spending $131k a week.

We all dream of one day winning the lottery.

 

Thinking of the major life changes you could make with a huge sum of money can be one of the most enjoyable ways to while away the day.

 

And a big chunk of cash, like, say, $50 million, should be enough to last a lifetime, right?

Well, one lottery winner proved that this wasn’t necessarily the case after he managed to blow the lot with an extreme $131k per week spending habit!

 

Colin Weir was the winner of one of the biggest ever lottery jackpots, after scooping £161 million ($200 million) on the EuroMillions back in 2011.

At the time, it was the second-biggest jackpot ever paid out.

However, it didn’t exactly lead to a happy ending.

In fact, Weir managed to blow a whopping £40 million ($50 million) of his fortune before he died in 2019.

That’s a quarter of his enormous jackpot in just eight years!
