Well, you made some mistakes, but it doesn't sound like you are actually out any money, at least not much. If he has piled up debts as it appears and has no job, it is unlikely that you'd be able to collect if you did win. It seems as though you are angry at him; some of that anger should be aimed at yourself for getting nothing in writing and giving him case without a receipt. And, apparently, everything is in his name, so for the bills owed, you don't even exist.
I'd recommend: (1) give him no more money (2) find another place immediately, even if it's a cheap hotel and you need to put your stuff in storage (3) get out of there and get on with your life.
