For some people, winning the big jackpot can turn out to be a big mistake.

William 'Bud' Post III called it the 'lottery of death.'

The Pennsylvania man, who died in January at 66, hit a $16.2 million lottery jackpot in 1988. After that, his sixth wife left him, a woman sued for a third of the winnings, he failed at business ventures with siblings, and spent time in jail for firing a gun over a bill collector's head."
