Powerball winner losing home in auction
It’s a rags-to-riches-to-rags tale, north county style.
David Lee Edwards, a laid-off laborer in 2001 when he won $42 million from a $295 million Powerball drawing in Kentucky and moved to Palm Beach Gardens, appears to have the kind of financial problems that he never should have faced again.
The $1.2 million home Edwards bought in swanky BallenIsles within weeks of his big win — he paid cash, of course — is scheduled to be auctioned on the county courthouse steps May 22.
