Reporter imagine your life changing tomorrow. Suddenly you can afford every luxury your heart desires, like this sprawling penthouse in new york city. Im 64, so this is like three fredericks.

Reporter for 30 million. Dreams of becoming an overnight multi millionaire are driving an allout lotto frenzy. I look for it to grow some more today. Well see what happens. Reporter the jackpot, 800 million and counting. The largest the world has ever seen. Weve been waiting two hours. Reporter and on the eve of this powerball draw, people are lining up for a chance to win big. Ive got the Winning Ticket right here. Right there, right there, theres the winner. Reporter no, probably not a winner. But still, people arent deterred by the odds, waiting over two hours today in crazy long lines in prim, nevada. Everybodys got a dream. Reporter after 18 drawings request no jackpot so far, this saturdays numbers will be historymaking. Were in uncharted territory. This is a world record jackpot. Were at levels weve never seen before. Were going to be carefully Monitoring Sales tomorrow to see just how people react. Reporter that 800 million prize is for payments paid out over 30 years. If youre like most winners, youll want that cash immediately, which comes to a lump sum payment of 496 million before taxes. That aint so bad. Were about to go out and tell the employees that we just purchased 11 lottery tickets for the powerball this saturday. Atop the 60th floor, monica hoe of the mobile Marketing Firm x ad, is surprising her staff today with what could be a fortune. We know the odds, but if you dont play, youre never going to win. So we have to at least try. Reporter 11 powerball tickets. Thats 11 chances to win. I know weve been hearing some buzz around the office. So we were thinking, why dont we buy tickets for the office . [ applause ] here are the tickets. Monica and i are going to keep these in safekeeping. If we win, half the winnings will go to the charities of our choice, the other half will be divided amongst all of us. All right . Reporter these coworkers may love the camaraderie right now. I think its amazing. Reporter but office pools can quickly go wrong. This group of california coworkers barely had time to celebrate their 315 million prize when they were sued by four coworkers who claimed they had oral agreements to be part of the office pool. A judge dismissed the cases. Then this construction worker in new jersey, he was in charge of buying the lottery tickets for his work pool. But without telling anyone, claimed a 38 million jackpot as his alone. He was sued and lost. If you dont do it right, there could be disputes. Whos in the office pool . Which ticket was purchased for the pool versus which for the individual . Reporter i went to the office where 15 of the interior designers are in the powerball pool. Or is it 16 . Are you in the pool . I thought i was in the pool. Yall dont know if the boss is in the pool . We have it written down. I dont know. This is the most unprepared pool i have ever seen. Reporter the group has just gone in together on 77 powerball tickets with no plan of what theyd do if they actual won. Well work it out. Before they draw it on saturday. Office pools can be good fun. The first thing is, whoevers buying the tickets needs to copy them, send them to the group in an email, saying this is the group, these are the only people in the group and these are your tickets. This Real Estate Office in florida hit it big, and even though the new girl had no money for a ticket, they still cut her in. The fact that we got to share an experience most never have in a lifetime, winning a powerball, we grew closer. Now theyre all really good, really rich friends, and ready to get even richer. I feel 100 confident. Reporter remember, it could grow to a billion dollars. So go ahead and dream big. Recall that 30 million penthouse, you could buy 26 of them. Whomever wins, call me. Caller you could be bicoastal with this 42 million estate in los angeles. My favorite thing about this house is how you walk in and see views all around. Reporter where no expense is spared. This is the sexiest master suite in beverly hills. Reporter if you want to wear your winnings, you could buy the 45. 5 carat hope diamond. You could buy two. Or an hermes, crocodile clutch, 16,194 of them for your closest friends. Need some new wheels . Maybe a tesla electric car. You could buy 7,619 of them. But before we get carried away, we should mention the odds. 1 in 292. 2 million. In other words, you might as well wave your two bucks goodbye. But if you do win, be careful. Friends are coming out of the wood work, family that they didnt know they had. Everyones going to be asking for handouts. Reporter winning big can come with big time trouble. You can do an easy internet search and find the disasters of some of the lottery winners who have lost all of their money. And theyre really sad stories. They spend it on houses and cars and they dont realize theres upkeep for those things. They buy things for their friends and families, to be the big shot. Reporter back in 1981, light bulb Lou Eisenberg went from electrician to millionaire when he won 5 million, then the largest lottery payout. Nearly 30 years later, his overthetop spending has left him dead broke. But he was lucky compared to abraham shakespeare, who won 17 million. I would like my old life back, where i could walk the streets like a normal person. Reporter three years after he hit the jackpot, police found his body buried in this womans backyard. She was later convicted of murder. But experts say you can avoid becoming the next lottery horror story. Soon as you realize youre the winner, sign the back of the ticket, copy it, put it in a safe place. Reporter and keep a low profile. The reason you dont want to parade your family out in public is, you dont want everyone knowing that your child now has 300 million. Reporter but most likely the odds are so low. This wont be your problem or theirs either. If i won, i would buy a beach house, a helicopter, a boat, and like six destinies for all my friends. Theres no harm in all of us dreaming. T. J.

Reporter so it wasnt about getting married . I dont think he would have gotten married again. At 19, sonnier married his High School Sweetheart becky, but the marriage fell apart. So the doctor went back out on the dating scene. He went on a lark to a dance class, ballroom and salsa and swing. And through that dance community, he found his confidence again.

We bought a lock, you throw the key into the river and that locks in the moment forever. Reporter but for rachelle and joseph, forever would only be a matters of weeks. On a sweltering wednesday in july, rachelle learned that the love of her life has been murdered. A landscaper finds his body. There are placecards everywhere. Theres crimescene tape all around josephs house. It was just absolute chaos. Reporter detective zach johnson catches the case and asks her to come in for questioning. How would you describe your relationship with dr. Sonnier . Hes the love of my life. Reporter he asks her if she knows anyone who might haveme wanted to stop the doctor or held a grudge against him. She rattles off a list about his exgirlfriends. She asks her about her past boyfriends. One name is on the tip of her tongue. His name is dr. Michael dixon. Heaz a Plastic Surgeon in amarillo. Hello, im dr. Mike dixon. Reporter well known, hes divorced and wealthy. Rachelle and dr. Dixon dated for a year and a half before she they broke up, and she started seeing dr. Sonnier. He knew that i was dating joseph. He called him by name in a series of text messages. He wanted me to come back to him. I told him no. Reporter but is dixon the kind of man to take no for an answer . Johnson wants to find out. So he drives two hours to amarillo for a facetoface conversation with rachelles ex that detective johnson secretly records. Dr. Dixon, im detective johnson with the Lubbock Police department. I told him rachelles boyfriend and his first thing was, oh, my, i dont know anything about him. I havent talked to her in months and months. Okay, well, thats a little odd, because she told us that he knew about the relationship. Ill be honest with you, i love, love, loved that woman. I really did. Reporter for detective johnson, alarm bells were sounding. I really had fallen head over heels. In fact, made a lot of changes for her. Reporter dixon seems like a likely suspect, but he has an alibi the night of sonniers murder. Detective johnson is stumped. Theres something not right here, this is a huge whodunnit. Reporter until a witness comes forward with a name dave shepherd, who soon confesses to the crime. Hes laying on the floor, not moving, not breathing, nothing. I check his pulse in his neck. Hes dead. Reporter shepherd has no known connection to dr. Sonnier. But guess who hes best buddies with . Dr. Dixon. We just hit it off. Reporter it was an unlikely bromance. Dixon, a successful Plastic Surgeon, and shepherd, a unsploimd unemployed conman. He left his wife for her. You know, she broke up his marriage and he just wanted, i guess, payback. Reporter that meant getting rid of the man she loved. He wanted him hurt and then gradually developed into having him killed. Reporter based on shepherds confession, Police Arrest dixon for ordering the hit on dr. Sonnier. But who will the jury believe, a respected Plastic Surgeon, or a conman . In the first trial, shepherd reneged, refusing to turn against his best friend. In the end, the jury couldnt reach a verdict. But at the second trial, one of the hitmans daughters takes the stand. He takes the jury back three years. Her normally cashpoor father treats them to a fancy steak dinner. We all asked him, how do you have money . And his words were, i did some work for mike and he paid me early. Reporter and you think that was a prepayment for killing dr. Sonnier . In retrospect, absolutely. Reporter it takes a new jury only three hours to deliberate. The verdict is in. Unanimous verdict. Guilty on two charges. Reporter mike dixon is convicted on two counts of capital murder. Hes appealing the verdict. As for the woman at the center of it all, rachelle shetina has a warning. There are real sociopaths and psychopaths that walk amongst us. Theyre charming. They sit at the dinner table with you and your children, and sometimes they sleep in your bed with you. Reporter tonight, rachelle shetina has put mike dixon out of her mind, but says Joseph Sonnier will always have a place in her heart. Ill always love him. Im just tell him how sorry i am. Reporter for nightline, im ryan smith in lubbock, texas. Dixons lawyers still maintain shepherd acted alone and that their client never ordered the hit on dr. Sonnier.
