24. Dan Bilzerian's Bag Of Lottery Tickets

Dan Bilzerian has made his fortune by being a risk taker. Through his YouTube channel and huge social media presence, he's one of the world's best-known gamblers. He's very good at it too, having racked up a personal fortune of several million dollars. Having become rich through striking lucky, he's the sort of person who's inclined to try to share that wealth with his friends and fans.

In 2016, when the Powerball jackpot was due to be a massive $1.3bn, Bilzerian spent $100,000 on lottery tickets, completely filling a duffel bag with them and turning them over to his assistants to check. In the event that he struck the jackpot, he promised to share the spoils of victory with his Instagram followers. Sadly for him and them, his numbers didn't come in. It was nice of him to try, though!
