Honey, These Crazy Lottery Winners Blew Up Their House

Yes, this is true, it’s stupid I know, but it’s true! Early last year, as reported by Sgt. Bruce Watts of the Wichita Police Department, two very smart (sarcasm) brothers in Wichita decided to celebrate a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by buying marijuana and meth, which inadvertently blew up their house! At about 7:00pm on Friday near Douglas and West Street at the 100 block of North Nevada Court, the brothers were home all geared up to celebrate their win by smoking marijuana and meth in bongs. One of them happily strolled to the kitchen to replenish the butane torches that they intended to use to fuel their bongs. What he did in the kitchen will leave you amazed.

Leaking Butane Lighter Fuel Meets The Pilot Light

Normally people understand that gas does not go well with fire, water doesn’t digest electricity and that two women can never work together in the same team (it’s true!) but this genius emptied a couple of large cans of butane lighter fluid in the kitchen, unaware that one of the cans were leaking butane into the air. The butane vapor eventually came in contact with the pilot light in the furnace, and as you might expect, KABOOM – the 27-year old brother flew straight to the hospital with second degree burns on his hands, arms and chest while the other brother landed in jail for drug abuse. It’s funny, but it’s sad…

I’m a Lottery Winner, But I Work As A Maid

Yes, you heard that right, and no, it’s not about me! Okay, this story began in 2003, where the average cost of buying a new house was $246,300, where the average income was $45,016 and the cost of a gallon of gas was just $1.83! At that time a 16-year old Callie Rogers, who was then living with her foster parents in the UK and working as a shop clerk for $5.83 an hour, bought a National Lottery ticket, hoping to win a fortune. Luckily, she did win a massive amount of $3 million and much like most lottery winners; she claimed that she would spend the money sensibly. Seriously? A 16 year old and $3 million? What do you expect? The moment she grabbed her big fat check, she purchased four large houses, a truckload of new cars and even got to… wait for it… breast augmentations! Then she went on to become…

A Teenager With A Penchant For Sharing

Suddenly Callie developed love to share her fortune with others. No, she didn’t do any charity. She, in fact, bought expensive gifts for a series of boyfriends. To one boyfriend, she gave a car and even paid him to drive her around because she was 16 – too young to drive. What a philanthropist with a twist! This and other behaviours, cocaine addiction, led to her financial ruin. According to her, she may have spent a good quarter of a million dollars on cocaine. Soon she was seen selling her houses and cars to save whatever she could. She rented a modest townhouse and picked up work as a maid. In April, she was completely low on funds and pregnant with twins, but unfortunately shortly after birth, one of the twins died; leaving her with one child and a new loving boyfriend.

Turn Unused Train Station Into Home Sweet Home

This is very unusual, and not what every woman has on her mind when she asks for a new home! This one is about Lisa and Mark Benbow, a 41-year old railway worker and a train geek who won the Euromillions for a jaw breaking £1 million. Mark loves trains, anything to do with trains and you were his best friend! When he became a millionaire, the first thing he thought of was to purchase a big house and have a special room for his train set. Little did he know that he would be a lot closer to trains than he could ever imagine! Soon a 120 year old unused railway station in Merthyr Tydfil came up for sale at just £139,000 and what do you know! Mark wanted to build his dream house and he knew beforehand that the location wasn’t ideal and restoring the old railway station will cost him a large part of his winnings. That didn’t stop him from achieving his dreams; instead he set out to restore the station and build his dream house! For Mark and his wife Lisa, it’s a shame that the trains don’t pass by now!
