Ontario, Canada resident Barry Shell won nearly $4.4 million in the lottery jackpot. Obviously, he went to collect his money as soon as he could. Some would say he was pretty lucky. source

Unfortunately, he failed to appear in court 6 years ago and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The cops nabbed him right after he got his check and threw him in jail. *Not* so lucky. source
