It's no surprise that giving millions of dollars to someone with minimal common sense doesn't tend to work out too well.

But that's exactly what can and does happen every now and then thanks to a little thing called the lottery.

If you're ready to learn about the myriad of ways you can blow through millions fast, let's take a look at the dumbest lottery winners of all time.

There are many reasonable ways to use your money if you win the lottery, but gambling it all

1985 and 86, winning a combined total of $5.4 million. Both wins occurred in the span of just

four months after she began spending $100 on the lottery every week.

But don't be swayed into thinking doing something like that substantially increases your chances of winning.

The odds were still astronomically against her.

She just got extremely lucky.

Evelyn's big wins paid out at $218,000 a year rather than all at once. But this inability to blow it all in one

family and friends and losing huge amounts on failed business deals, she decided it was time

to hit the tables. She became a regular at Atlantic City's finest casinos and was someone the

owners were overjoyed to welcome in. Not because of her personality, but because she was unlucky

enough to lose every dime of her lottery winnings on the tables, lining the casino owner's pockets

in the process. As they say in Vegas, the house always wins.
