Lara and Roger Griffiths: A $2.37 Million Win That Ended in Divorce
In 2005, British couple Lara and Roger Griffiths won $2.37 million in the national lottery. At first, life was sweet — they bought new homes, luxury cars, and paid for private schooling for their daughters.
Roger invested in real estate, while Lara opened a beauty salon. But with no real business experience, both ventures failed. Their funds quickly dried up, and then disaster struck — their new house burned down due to an electrical fault.
Financial stress led to constant arguments, and by 2011, the couple had divorced. All that remained from their jackpot was a single mortgaged home.
