$208 Million Lotto Winner Dies At 43
ARCADIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Ralph Stebbins, who won a $208 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot with his wife in April 2005 died Saturday. He was 43.
Stebbins died at his home in Arcadia Township near Lapeer, Sheriff's Sgt. Andy Engster told the Times Herald of Port Huron. Family spokesman Robert Kolt said he suffered a heart attack.
Ralph and his wife, Mary, elected to take a lump-sum payment of $124.7 million, less taxes. They could have chosen to spread $208 million in payments over 26 years.
The couple used part of their winnings to buy a recreational vehicle and said they planned to buy a cow, pay off bills and build a garage to house a 1963 Corvette.
Kolt said he was not aware that Stebbins had a history of heart problems or that he was feeling ill.
Stebbins previously worked for a well-digging company in Port Huron, where the couple had lived, while Mary Stebbins was a $7-per-hour retail sales clerk at a general merchandise store. Both quit their jobs after winning the jackpot and planned to help several other family members retire.

That blows! At least he had 1 1/2 years before he kicked the bucket. I would have had a warehouse full of motorcycles by that point.

Hey... I got a new plan for Hammergate:
Step 1. Find Candice Stebbins.
Step 2. Comfort, then seduce Candice Stebbins.
Step 3. Marry Candice Stebbins convincing her a pre-nup is not needed.
Step 4. Divorce Candice Stebbins and get a big chunk of said 124 million.
