Winner: Abraham Shakespeare
Prize amount: $31 million
The Curse: In 2006, Abraham Shakespeare was rolling in the $31 million he had won in Florida. In 2009, he was nowhere to be found. And in 2010, his body was discovered under a concrete slab. A woman who had befriended him and bamboozled him out of $1.8 million was somehow connected to the murder. [NY Daily News]
