Woman 'hiding lottery win from husband'

I agree - time to move on to important things - like the lottery. I need the money for a party. It has been a rough week.

Chewie, if I offended you in anyway, do accept my apology. It was not my intent to offend anyone. And looking back at the post, I did address you personally. Nevertheless, accept my apology, will you, and let's get ready for that big PB jackpot this weekend. .

I totally agree - look at page 9, where lollipop started this gobbilty-goop, and all of you will stop feeding that self-glorifying UGLY superstitious biblical mythology about heaven and ejection of master liars:

Aaaahhh Yeah, Chewie.... You see, there is not a single relationship on planet earth that is ideal. And the T word Trust? In God, we trust---100%; others we try to believe in 50%. Those liars, etc. are not in heaven, nor will they go. They, along with other hypocrits will join... [ More ]

I was smart and adult enough to not respond after what I posted was twisted into ugliness because that person will pick out only what they want to see and not read everything, and again turn it into something ugly and rude.

Lollipop and DD, you're right. UGLY is the key word here, which is exactly what this discussion has become. Everyone should be respected, no matter what their views are.

If you decide to get personal with someone in the disrepectful sense, you deserve what you get. As far as I am concerned, I should not have lost my temper over unadult-like foolishness.

Good luck to you both and all on this system!

Like it had been said before, his habit was 15 years prior her win of the lottery! Now to stick around for 15 years after said drug habit and have kids with this man and then win the lottery and not tell her husband is Flat Out Deceitfulness!

Comment #155

melbrown425 — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 02:38:57 GMT

Chewie, that what you posted is simply outrageous.

The reason why I applaud this woman is simple: she kept her winnings a secret to protect her husband from potential drug abuse.

In marriage, we are taught to love, honor and cherish our spouses. Did she cheat him out of the money? No. Did she still stay with him even though because of his previous drug abuse they almost lost everything? Yes. So, chewie, I ask you, doesn't this prove that she honored her vows?

This has nothing to do... [ More ]

Comment #154

Chewie — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 02:29:29 GMT

If they kept it secret, how would you know about it? If you knew about it, it wouldn't be a secret. That is like asking if a woman was pregnant, but never gave birth, would any one know. She didn't keep it a secret, that is why it is public knowledge. Strange how that works!

What I'd like to know, is how many marriages last when one side is secretive, lying, and deceitful? You can't hide money and not acknowledge you're spending money that isn't supposed to exist; that is lying. Hidin... [ More ]

Lollipop, I've done the studying....and truth be told, lots of people would rather keep their winnings secret rather than go public because of safety and personal reasons. That's why I applaud this lady for doing what she did.

To be honest with you all, I would have done the same thing. I have done the same thing with just winning hundreds instead of millions and to this day, my family still don't know. I don't knock anybody for making a decision like that in order to keep order.

Mel, you and DD are absolutely right. But, I just realized why the topic took the turn that it did. Yeah, Mel, now that would have been reason for a 16 page++++ thread. But as you so aptly read, she was trying to protect and provide for her family at the same time. She was able to do that by keeping her win, secret. Which brings me to another question. Do you or any of the Lottery Post Group, know of any statistics on winners of lotteries who have kept their winnings secret vs. those who h... [ More ]

I certainly agree with you, DD......

As far as the article, this lady was apparently trying to do the right thing by everyone in her family. Because of this, everyone has prospered in some kind of way by the money, even though she kept it secret.

I wonder what people would say if she had divorced his butt after she had received the money.....would the topic of religion still be brought up?

DoubleDown — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 01:04:22 GMT

Nor am I Mel , but just one quick comment :

The original dialogue was whether or not this particular lady done the right thing by keeping the lottery winnings secret from her husband for 3+ years.

Oh, it started out fairly clean, but has digressed into a hateful spewing that needs to die- no one wins these things...

Clearly, woman was created equal in value to man (Gen. 1:27). Man, however, was inadequate by himself (Gen. 2:18). Alone of all creatures, she was created from man and for man. All others, including man, were created from dust . Though equal, woman was created with a special role different from man.

Sorry Tenaj; nothing you mentioned has anything to do with a blessing; and not all that you mentioned are good things. Definetly, none of them came from some bibical gibberish. Especially freedom of speech. When the bibical fanatics had their way, there is no freedom of speech. Have you forgotten that hearesay was punishable by having your tounge cut out, or hanging?

emilyg, I avoid nothing in life. But since you asked here are just a couple examples.

Peggy Vaughan, author of The Monogamy Myth, numbers show that 60% of men, and about 40% of women, will have at least one extramarital affair in their lifetime. However, since she also concludes that accuracy is questionable to some extent, there is no way to be certain. The Kinsey Report stated that 50-60% of middle and upper-income males under the age of 60 had participated in at least one affair, and that

We must allow each person the right of free will to walk their own path either creating steps or to sit a while if they so choose, and make no judgment of their steps and deeds they undertake.

But even grater than Forgiveness is our judgment upon another when really we do not know why she made the decision she has because we walk not in her shoes or have viewed life through her eyes.

What research? Research shows? Name the document. Was this an Oprah wisdom; like her phony book reviews? Maybe it was documented on the Dr. Phil show; that is an arena the world can believe in - kind of like his phony products. Jerry Springer? Now there is some thing every one can accept.

Isn't there something in the unquestionable Bible about forgiveness? Or was the subject overlooked?

I wonder which source you based your position on.

mylollipop — Sun, 05 Feb 2006 14:39:47 GMT

Research shows that once confidence has been destroyed in a relationship, it is difficult to regain the confidence though not impossible. It sometimes takes years to rebuild the trust depending upon how each person involved reacts to previous life experiences and experiences with the party in the relationship regarding trust issues.

BaristaExpress — Sun, 05 Feb 2006 12:22:04 GMT

Emilyg, I would think to most people the statement Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater would be self explanatory as to what the research found. But I guess there are clueless people out there that don't have simple reasoning skills, nor do they have the ability to come to that conclusion

Honesty is all I expect - and the gumption to speak honestly; not hide behind some shield.And I will never HIDE behind a filter to protect myself from what you say.

Gee, I hardly ever agree with Chewie, but he has valid points. Everyone seems to be forgetting what money is gained in marriage, is marital money. One spouse cannot hide assets from the other and claim it to be for good cause. All this woman had to do was file for divorce, agree to set up some of the winnings for the kids, give him his half and what he does with his money is his business, not hers. She is a control freak. She is dishonest, and why is this a gender battle? Staying with someon... [ More ]

Trust is just another word for temptation; it is all about acting appropraitely in any given circumstance. Remeber when computers first started, their were all the experts who kept breaking into the backdoors. most went to jail. Hoever, the experts were immediately hired by the same banks to create the protection systems. To do that, they had to have access to all the portals and codes. Amazingly enough, continued theft was a rarity, and even this day, you can thank the forgiving bank leade... [ More ]

A bad a doesn't make a Bad B better or worse. In both descriptions, the people losers. Just because one person did something, doesn't take the heat off of another. Politicians do this all the time. Hollywood celebrities do it all the time. They're both losers.

Addendum:Forgiving a Person, doesn't mean that you place every tempation in front of him, to challenge or test his weaknesses.....Obviously, she loves him and forgave him because she could have walked out on him but didn't. She chose to stay, as I posted earlier, to maintain her family and marriage. To me, there is love and yes, even trust there. There may also be more to her life story, w/him. He has proven to her, that he cannot handle money well, perhaps during the time he used he threw aw... [ More ]

I have always wondered why people always start throwing the Bible around so easily when they get their butt into tight spots for? Is it because they have no other Valid thoughts for a comeback to someone else's view point that have undeniable merit to them? That must be the reason behind it, but who knows why they do it for. So, in all fairness, lets give the bible thumper a chance to validate their reason for being here! So, I ask this one question of the one person who is throwing the bibl... [ More ]

Since you brought it up, I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in some super mean guy with horns and black wings. I have seen too many body bags of people who asked their lord to save them. Never was someone saved by a prayer. They would have died, or lived, with or without the prayer. Based on the Bible, the only real proof of a God is his continuous destruction of his creations during temper tantrums. Massive floods, fires, and, lets not forget the slaughter of babies in Egypt.

Aaaahhh Yeah, Chewie.... You see, there is not a single relationship on planet earth that is ideal. And the T word Trust? In God, we trust---100%; others we try to believe in 50%. Those liars, etc. are not in heaven, nor will they go. They, along with other hypocrits will join the master liar who was kicked out centuries ago along with 1/3 of heaven's population. You see Chewie, there are those people who do and move on and say their apologies when needed. Then there are those people w... [ More ]

She lived with the guy for 15 years, after the drug addiction supposedly stopped; and continued to do so when she had the funds to bail. Kept her kids around him during that whole timeline. That, in itself, tells a story. She made a decision to do what she did, and that decision resulted in an obvious mistrust. Live 15, or more, years with some one you don't trust. Guess I'll have change universes to understand that concept.

You have to remember Chewie that we live our always always being. Meaning that all the experiences and the other stuff we are made of make us what we are always being. Whether we are shy, introverted, extroverted, trusting, loving, untrusting, Jeffrey Daumer, etc.We all don't put together information the same, even with the same experience.

Ya gotta love it. I keep reading how Christianity is the major religon on this country. Then I read how decietfulness is the appropriate path, and foregiveness is not. When in doubt, 15 years later, condem the druggie husband and bless the lying wife. Heaven must be an interesting place. Full of liars, but no former druggies. Ahh, sooooooo glad I'm in the minority.

Majority opinion is, 15 years later you are doomed to repeat your sins.Chewie, it sure seems that way for those who don't know the word or the meaning of the word Forgiveness and thats an awful/despicable shame

And no I'm not related in any way, shape or form to Chewie. Chewie has made valid points and you ladies might not agree. But all in all it's not entirely your fault for that way of thinking. I can place a very small amount of the blame on the male gender. Like it has been said before, all it takes is a few bad apples to spoil the barrel , and that's exactly how your mothers have taught you to view most men. If men make one particular mistake, (in your eyes) men are bound by the heavens to repea... [ More ]

Forgiving? Still complaining about something he did 15 years earlier. Not trusting some one 15 years later, which is the justification for hiding the money. Awfully close to being unforgiving. Faithful and loving wife? That is assumption, as valid as her being a woman who screws whoever she wants, just to prove she can. All this based on the may word? That word has the validity of the if word. Maybe he will become a druggie again. Then again, maybe he has become the pillar of their neighb... [ More ]

I would think that she could have easily set up some sort of trust, allowing her children (and other family members) to be taken care, herself having enough to never worry about, AND able sharing it with the husband. Surely there must be some lawyer who could arrange that. However, she would have to have an interest in sharing! Personally, I think she used an X-Acto blade to cut the word forgiveness out of all the dictionary's in her immediate area.

I can't judge this women because I have never been a victim of marriage. Winning the lottery gave her a chance to make choices and it doesn't matter what other people who can't make choices think as long as she was satisfied with the choices she made.

Hey, libra926, you brought to memory a situation that I know of personally. 18 years ago, a man I know was killed in a plane crash. He was a wealthy construction worker. He had a wife, three adult children and three grand children. He provided for his family, siblings, and a few faithful employees. Then surprise, suprise of AaaallllLLL surprises; he had a condo right under his family's nose in the city they lived in. A few months before he was killed in the crash, his wife found out that...
