Lucky Poweball Winner Comes into Bad Luck with his Audi R8


The poor guy had just purchased one of the most fantastic cars in the world, an Audi R8. He purchased it just under a year after he won a $25,000,000 Powerball jackpot last year. The Audi R8 cost $140,000 and went up in flames while he was driving it a week after he made the purchase. It was thought to be just 1 or 2 in the USA. Luckily, no one was hurt. Here's the story from SeattlePi:

Good luck, bad luck: Lottery winner's rare car goes up in flames

DANBURY, Conn. -- Fire officials are investigating the cause of a car fire on the Merritt Parkway that destroyed a rare Audi R8 belonging to a Connecticut Powerball winner.

According to reports, Rahul Patel, of Newington, was driving the car, only a week old, northbound on the parkway around 9 a.m., when he looked up in the rearview mirror and saw smoke.

As the car's engine is in the rear, Patel pulled over to see if there was something wrong with the vehicle. After stepping out of the car, he reportedly saw flames coming out of the engine.

No one was hurt in the incident, but the car was a complete loss. Fire officials said the car is only one of two of its kind in the United States and that the car was valued at $140,000, with options. The list price for the vehicle on the Audi website is $114,000.

Losing such a rare car might be considered bad luck but, almost exactly a year ago, Patel had luck of a different sort when he won a $25 million Powerball jackpot. He won the money on June 29, 2009, from a $1 ticket. Read the whole story...
