David Edwards.
From $41 Million To Living In A Storage Room


46 year old, out of work ex-con David Edwards struck gold in August 2001 when he took a one-thirdshare od the Powerball prize. His $41 Million dollar share came to an after tax check for $27 million!

Just 6 short years later it was all gone.

Hey, when living large it is hard to get by on just $4.5 million dolars a year.

After winning the huge pile of cash David claimed he would hire a financial advisor to plan for himself and his children. Instead he took on an entourage and went on a buying spree. I remember seeing David on TV showing off ridiculous little statues that he had bought tens of thousands of dollars and thinking that there'e a future poor man.

In 2007 Edwards was evicted from his $1.2 million home in Palm Beach Garden, Fla. for not paying his association dues. Shortly thereafter, Edwards was evicted from a storage unit that he was apparently living in. The items in storage were auctioned to pay Edwards’ storage fees.

In addition his wife Shawna Edwards, 32, was in the county jail for nearly a month after she was arrested on a warrant charging her with failing to make child support payments on two children she had previous to her marriage to David Edwards. She also served 10 days in jail for giving police officers a false name when she was arrested.

That's not all. Along the way Shawna Edwards was arrested for domestic battery in 2004 after her husband told authorities she had tried to stab him with a crack pipe.

Both Shawna and David were arrested in 2005 when police found cocaine and heroin in their bedroom.

David Edwards pleaded guilty to a drug paraphernalia possession charge and the cocaine charge was dropped.
