A Powerball Reimbursement Go Fund Me Page Has Been Created

[joeybee12]

A woman by the name of Cinnamon Nicole from Cordova, TN has raised a little more than $800 in seven hours via her Powerball Reimbursement Go Fund Me page.

Nicole alleges to have spent all of her money on purchasing tickets with the assumption she would win the $1.6 billion jackpot, but soon realized the winning tickets were sold in Los Angeles, Florida and Tennessee suburbs.

Despite the chances of anyone winning the jackpot being 1 in 292.2 million, Nicole still decided to go big, and unfortunately now can’t go home because she allegedly doesn’t have any money.

Please help me and my family as we have exausted all of our funds. We spent all of our money on lottery tickets (expecting to win the 1.5 billion) and are now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like and one share, I’m certain that we will be able to pick ourselves up from the trenches of this lost and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again! PLEASE, won’t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW.

Can't believe she'd get a dollar, but she already got $800 in donations!!!

1. 'Cinnamon'?

Is that her real name or her stripper name?

2. Cinnamon by itself is suspect...

Cinnamon Nicole definitely sounds made up or a "stage" name.

3. The lottery is sometimes described as a tax on people who can't do math.

I guess this knucklehead couldn't comprehend how incredibly unlikely a Powerball win really is - 1 in 262 million odds. And if she'd won she'd probably have been one of those people who blow the whole thing and are broke within 7 years (supposedly 70% of all winners). This is why they won't let people buy lottery tickets with credit cards - some people are dumb enough to max them out doing just that.

8. How do you know she bought lottery tickets?

6. I still find it hard to believe

that people who barely have a pot to piss in would invest so much in the astronomically huge chance of getting rich quick.
I knew people who played the lottery and bought too many scratch offs every week by my way of thinking but actually came out ahead. I don't know if they were lucky or smart but the payoff wasn't huge.
My sister and BIL always bought a ton of lottery tickets and scratch offs when they came back home but it was really only pocket change.
If you bank on investing your last dollar into a last chance Hail Mary, you're not just stupid, you're a prime candidate for a Darwin Award.

One thing to learn! Lotteries and state sponsored gambling is just a stealth tax on the poor.
Homey don't play that game!

7. I like her honesty. It's refreshing

One time I was in Austrailia on a family vacation and these two guys had a sign saying spent all our money on beer and can't get home. I gave a 20 spot. I thought it was hilarious and very honest. I still remember it after 10 years. It beats giving to others who have signs that are total lies. I never give to them.

9. I Hate That Story

Not about you being nice to them. That's cool. But for all the places i've been around the world, i never got to go to Australia. So, i'm jealous and i hate your story, now.
