5. Ibi Roncaioli
Despite the $5 million that Ibi won playing the lottery, her death didn’t seem fishy in the slightest bit. Her and her husband, Joseph, had been married for 30 years, and he was already making a respectable living of over $200,000 a year as a gynecologist. The money she had won was just the icing on the cake.
Already in control of the couple’s finances, Ibi began to frivolously spend the cash she had won, and—before she knew it—all the money was gone! Shortly thereafter, she was found dead on the couch. Since she already had a bit of an alcohol and pill-popping problem, her death was assumed to be linked to one of those causes. However, when the autopsy came back that despite her addictions her major organs were all in good shape, experts started to dig a little deeper. They found track marks all over her legs and feet and questioned her husband as he had access to medical supplies. He admitted that he had been running tests on her, and gave her some pain medication, but his story just didn’t seem to add up, and he was charged with manslaughter. It is believed that her irresponsible spending drove her husband to end it once and for all. It didn’t help that their own son confessed in court that they had a rocky marriage, and didn’t even share the same bed at night. And now, let’s see the top 4 on our list of worst lottery winner horror stories.
