Another Powerball winner in troubleReply
I remember seeing David Edwards on that lottery program. I guess winning a bunch of money doesn't change ones behavior.

California office pool claims $543 million Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Sounds like good advice. Was just thinking of all the huge lottery winners that did some sort of press conference over the past many years. The only two I can recollect are Jack Whitaker David Edwards. For the others including the largest Powerball winner in Massachusetts I have to look her name up. Sad about Jack Whitaker and especially the late David Edwards. He promised God on the podium @ the news conference that he was changing his ways. Obviously he didn't and got worse.

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
David Edwards problem wasn't that he moved into a gated community though or even bought a $1.5M (I think it was that much) home, his problem was listening to the wrong people while ignoring the right ones and spending a lot more than what he was taking in (when some of the people he listened weren't ripping him off) David Edwards became rich overnight not wealthy IMO. Then there's the whole drug abuse issue... You know, Edwards had a messed up back before he won the lottery, after he won he was

Unemployed N.Y. Man Wins $14 Million LotteryReply
I dunno about that considering how things turn out for a lot of winners such as David Edwards for an extreme example. Then there's always our good friend Jack Whitaker who was already a millionaire when he won the biggest US lottery (at the time) in history and recently nearly won again but only got the $10,000 prize. The thing that kind of bugs me about that is his story on how the lottery ruined his life or however it went, yet he still plays and nearly won another jackpot. I wonder if he dona

NASCAR fan wins $75.6M lottery jackpotReply
Joe reminds me of David Edwards. David also won millions of dollars in the lottery.David also said he was going to get a financial advisor.Joe and David are about the same age.Joe opted to a cash buy out just like David did. I'll give Joe about the same amount of time (5 to 6 years) to lose the lottery money.

NC man who won $10 million in lottery charged with murderReply
I never understand the mindset of a career criminal. Here he was given the chance to perhaps 'change his ways', but didn't. In the broadest sense reminds me of David Edwards from Ashland, KY @ KLC in Louisville stating God I'll change my ways or something like that on the local news. Well he didn't and we all know his demise.

Powerball lottery winner Andrew "Jack" Whittaker dies at 72Reply
Despite Jack's misfortune, l would bet there are millions of people who wouldn't have mind walking in his shoes. Winning the lottery, burning through your fortune ending up where you started is an ongoing theme with many jackpot winners. David Edwards was one, another was that idiot in a hot tub with a glass of champagne in one hand and gold chains around his neck. I never knew Jack but l think he lived life to his fullest. One thing he has going for him- he is in the lottery history book.

How a lottery jackpot winner became a bank robberReply
This was so sad. It really reminded me of David Edwards of E. KY who won a boatload in Powerball. He too ended up on drugs and living in one of those PODS like structures. Drugs did him in too, except that it cost him his life.
