1. Abraham Shakespeare
This casual laborer won a $30 million jackpot in Florida, he received $17 million in 2006. Three years later Abraham Shakespeare was reported missing. His family hadn’t seen him for over six months and hoped that he was enjoying his winnings on a beach somewhere. Unfortunately, his body was discovered buried under 5’ of dirt and a newly poured concrete slab in the backyard of a home that he owned. The detectives believe that he died in early April of that same year, seven months before his body was found. Dorice Donegan “Dee Dee” Moore was the main suspect in the murder of Shakespeare, she was later convicted of murdering the 42-year-old. While he was buried in the backyard Dee Dee sent text messages to his friends and family to keep up the ruse that he was alive. Shakespeare was befriended by this con-artist and taken advantage of, a common price that lottery winners pay after going public with their big win.
