Jeffrey Dampier won $20 million in the Illinois Lottery in 1996. He was one of those people that was very generous with his money. He grew up poor, but when he won the lotto, he showered his friends and family with gifts. This included Caribbean cruises, cars, and houses.
Jeffrey was generous. But there were some that were greedy. His sister-in-law, Victoria Jackson, was one of those greedy ones. Greedy enough to murder Jeffrey Dampier for money. Victoria and her boyfriend kidnapped Jeffrey and demanded money. They bound his hands and forced him into a van, where he ended up being shot in the head and killed.
Victoria Jackson and Nathaniel Jackson (not related) were charged with the murders of Jeffrey Dampier. They were sentenced to life in prison.
This story just goes to show that winning the lottery is sometimes a curse, more than anything else.
