Lotto winner Sharon Tirabassi lives paycheck to paycheck after blowing $10.5M prize
Sharon Tirabassi

Before you buy that next Powerball ticket, you might want to talk to Sharon Tirabassi. Nine years ago, the Canadian woman won a $10.5 million lottery jackpot. Today she has zero dollars, a part-time job and struggles to support her nine kids.

Tirabassi blew her money in all the predictable ways: gifts for family members, a massive house, extravagant vacations and lining four luxury cars in the driveway.

Those cars are all gone. So are her new \"friends.\" Now she takes the bus to work and tries to teach her kids the value of a dollar. \"All of that other stuff was fun in the beginning, now it"s like … back to life,\" she sighed. [Source]
