Lotto Winner Hospitalized After Celebrating With 3-Month Bender
According to BBC, 39-year-old Adam Lopez won around $1M after buying a winning scratchcard from a corner shop and nearly 3 months later he was taken to a hospital with bilateral pulmonary embolism. He got a bad blood clot in his leg that spread into his lungs.
Lopez was a forklift driver but quit his job after winning--not always recommended! You'll still need an income especially after all that partying. The partying wasn't all that he spent his money on, he also bought a new car for himself and his mother, per BBC. You can read more about what happened to him from BBC here.
