Ibi Roncaioli
Ibi Roncaioli, the wife of Canadian millionaire Dr. Joseph Roncaioli, gave away her $800,000 lottery prize to her son, a man with whom she was not intimate. In 2003, she had six ounces of alcohol in her system and mysterious needle marks on her legs. Her two sons were unaware of the third man. Fortunately, the police were able to find the killer and charge him with her wife’s murder.

He plans to upgrade his car and treat friends to a lobster feast. He’s not the only one: another $1 million prize was purchased in Cape Breton County for a draw on June 3.

There were 33 other $1 million prizes in the lottery. Abbass plans to use the money to upgrade his car and help his family. He will also give away a significant portion of the money to charity.
Dave Muswagon
One of the greatest lottery stories in Canadian history is that of Gerald Muswagon, who won a $10 million prize in Winnepeg seven years ago. After receiving the news, he promptly hung himself in his parents’ garage. It seemed that the world had been handed to him, but he had never fully grasped the instant fame and fortune he received through a $2 Super 7 ticket. The result was that he spent nearly every penny of his prize money in a matter of years.
When Gerald Muswagon won a $10.5 million jackpot in Canada, he was living on welfare and drained his winnings through reckless spending. His lavish lifestyle included a $200,000 Cadillac, a fancy home, designer clothing, parties, and vacations. Now, he is unable to pay his bills. Similarly, Muswagon, who won $10 million in 1998, was arrested three times for reckless driving. He also failed to start his own business and was forced to work a minimum wage job. Unfortunately, he ended up hanging himself in 2005.
While Muswagon did not receive the cash prize in his first try, he did spend his winnings lavishly. In fact, he bought eight large-screen televisions, eight computers, and a new car. After spending all of his newfound wealth, he went back to his parents’ garage. Then, in 2005, he was convicted of tax fraud and ordered to pay back $2 million.
Michael Carroll
The lottery jackpot that Michael Carroll won in 2003 was the largest in Canadian history. The 19-year-old reportedly spent his winnings on hedonism and a lavish lifestyle. Although the media was eager to report his tale of rags to riches, his story largely fizzled out after a few years. It’s unclear if he stayed away from law problems after his winnings. He did, however, purchase a three-bedroom house by a lake in Ontario, where he lived with his family.
Michael Carroll was a petty criminal when he won the lottery and was already wearing an electronic monitoring tag to monitor his activities. He also did not have a bank account when he won. This forced Camelot to suggest that he join a private bank, but the bank declined because of Carroll’s criminal record. But he managed to collect PS9,736,131 in prize money and still spent it on cocaine and gaudy jewelry.
In 2011, Mikey Carroll went back to his hometown of Elgin, Scotland, and took on a new job as a biscuit packer. He wore a t-shirt with a P40 price tag on it. In the meantime, Carroll spent PS200 a week working as a lumberjack in Scotland. Carroll said he has no regrets about his lifestyle, but he does want to live a healthier life.
