David Lee Edwards, a laid-off laborer in 2001 when he won $42 million from a $295 million Powerball drawing in Kentucky and moved to Palm Beach Gardens, appears to have the kind of financial problems that he never should have faced again.

Edwards won a $41 million Powerball and took home $27 million in August of 2001. Six years later, the money was apparently gone.
Edwards was evicted from his $1.2 million home in Palm Beach Garden, Fla. for not paying his association dues. Shortly thereafter, Edwards was evicted from a storage unit that he was apparently living in. The items in storage were auctioned to pay Edwards’ storage fees.
That is the guy.
He was profiled as a winner and then as a real loser. lol
Now I might actually feel sorry for the guy!

“In the fall of 2006, David Lee Edwards and his wife, Shawna, decorated their front door for Halloween. But if trick-or-treaters made it to the couple’s home, a storage unit in Riviera Beach, no plastic ghost was as scary as what they’d have found inside: two pale, withered junkies from Kentucky living amid dirty clothes, rotting food, and their own filth.”
