10. Michael Carroll won $15.2m in the lottery. He used the cash to buy legions of cars and hold demolition derbies in the back garden. In 2010 he was spotted outside a job center after running out of money and in 2013 he was reported to be working in a biscuit factory.
9. Americo Lopes worked for a construction company and pooled money together with his colleagues to buy Mega Millions lottery tickets. One day Lopes found that one of the tickets had won $38.5m. He decided not to tell his co-workers and quit his job straight away. However, a news website published his story and his co-workers read about it. They sued him and the court ordered him to share his money 5 ways.
8. Denise decided to divorce Thomas after 26 years of marriage, because she won the Lotto jackpot of $1.3m, 11 days before. When Thomas mistakenly received a letter addressed to her about the lottery winnings two years later he sued her. The judge and jury gave Thomas every last cent of the haul.
7. Ian Galtress played the lottery multiple times with his lucky numbers, and one day he won $1.5m with them. However, he could never claim his prize because he had lost his ticket.
6. Jose Antonio Cua-Toc won $750,000. He was delighted, but worried about his legal immigrant status being discovered, he asked his boss, Erick Cervantes, to cash it for him. Cervantes claimed the ticket was his and kept all the money and Cua-Toc filed a lawsuit. Cua-Toc won the money back, but due to his citizenship status he faced deportation.
5. Evelyn Adams won the New Jersey lottery TWICE in the space of 4 months accumulating a total of $5.4m. She should have been set for life, but she decided to celebrate this by going to Atlantic City and she gambled almost all of it away. Years later it was reported that she was little to no money and lives in a trailer park.
4. Christina Goodenow bought a lottery ticket that ended up being worth $1m but she had bought the ticket using her deceased mother-in law's credit card. When the police found out, she was stripped of all the money and sentenced to probation.
3. Roger and Lara Griffiths won $2.8m in the lottery, but due to bed investments they were poor in 8 years.
2. John Ross Jr. won $2m in California's lottery and said that he was going to buy his own car. Three months later, Ross Jr. was arrested for supposedly helping to steal a Honda Civic.
1. Two unnamed brothers won the Kansas lottery receiving $75,000. They celebrated by having a weed and crystal meth-fueled party at their house, but accidently the house caught on fire. When firefighters and police got there they could see the amount of narcotics present and arrested them both for possession.

Learn About The 10 Most Dangerous Insects In The World
We all have our fears. Most of us are afraid of bugs, while others get scared by snakes or sharks. Imagine noticing the grossest, hairiest, most nightmarish-looking centipede you have ever seen inches away from your lunch box. How would you react?
Would you scream like a banshee and call someone in hysterics or would you finally get yourself together and gather enough bravery to squash the beastly bug with the first thing that gets to your hands?
If you hate bugs this much, here is a good reason not to kill them. Yes, you read it right. According to entomologists, different bugs have different roles in the circle of life. Some of them transmit very deadly diseases, so killing them on your own might not seem like a smart idea. If you happen to be fascinated by insects, here are 10 extremely dangerous insects.
The Bullet Ant’s sting is so painful it feels like being shot. Many people believe that this tiny insect possesses the most painful sting known to man.
A <a href="https://rumble.com/v309fw-botfly-larva-removed-from-chipmunk.html" target="_blank">Botfly larva</a> can burrow into the skin of their host and remain inside for weeks. You can feel them moving while they are inside their raised pustules.
Fleas are one of the most common parasites that get caught on your skin. While sucking the blood out of the animal, they can spread numerous deadly diseases.
The Kissing Bugs usually bite their victims during the night in the area around their lips or eyes. These deadly creatures spread the Chagas disease which is the reason for the deaths of over 12,000 people every year.
The bite of a Giant Japanese Hornet can cause intense pain, while its venom can dissolve human tissue. Imagine turning into human pudding!
We all have heard about <a href="https://rumble.com/v3m4wz-floating-colonies-of-fire-ants-spotted-in-houston-floodwaters.html" target="_blank">Fire Ants</a>. They are an aggressive species, whose sting causes red welts and pustules. In some rare cases, the sting of a Fire Ant can actually kill you.
Tse Tse Flies are large flies that suck your blood. This way they can spread sleeping sickness, which kills people in Africa on a regular basis.
You wonder which insects are on the top of this list? We invite you to keep watching the video, but brace yourself because it’s the one we all hate.

Momma Dog Adopts Most Peculiar Infant
What an amazing story! It seems like we can never get enough of the pupper awesomeness. They keep us at our toes with their antics and melt us into <a href=”https://rumble.com/v30e6w-dog-cuddles-with-sleeping-baby.html” target=”_blank”>puddles of mush</a> when they turn on their charm. Although, however cute they may be, nothing makes us love them more than when they become the heroes in the story. This one comes to us from Beijing, China and it is definitely something you wouldn’t have ever thought of.
We often hear stories about baby animals left alone in the wild. The cause can be different each time, from moms who weren’t able to recognize their own babies because they smelled like someone else, moms who didn’t have enough milk to give to their babies to mothers who left their frail babies behind to save the healthy ones when the situation asked for them to do it. No one said that survival in the wilderness was fair, but luckily, not all of these babies continue on the same grim path they were lead on.
Every now and then there is a silver lining in these stories and the little ones get the happily ever after they weren’t expecting. One such case is this <a href=”https://rumble.com/v30n57-lion-plays-with-rabbit-and-dog.html” target=”_blank”>lion cub</a> from Badaling Safari in Beijing. The little one was left to its own devices after his mommy couldn’t feed him. Luckily, the staff at the Safari was able to find him a substitute by employing a canine mom to look after its needs. Together with the three other “children” they are inseparable. Ah, we just love happy endings!
