When Billie Bob Harrell Jr. won a $31 million jackpot in the Texas Lotto, he thought it was going to solve all of his problems.
Instead, just two years later, he told his financial adviser that “winning the lottery is the worst thing that ever happened to me.”
Harrell was found dead in his home with a gunshot wound in his head shortly after.
Harrell’s story is being circulated after a hospital worker won a $758.7 million Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night’s, Aug. 23, lottery.
