He was arrested for selling drugs in Nov 2014, she won the lottery in Feb 2015. He didn't sell any drugs since she got the money, a lot of other stupid things but not selling drugs.

I agree that thinking in terms of only $10 million when deciding to spend your money could be an indication of a problem, but how much a lottery winner spends isn't the important factor in going broke. It's how much they don't spend that matters. As long as you set aside some minimum amount that should ensure a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of your life you won't go broke regardless of how you view the rest of the money.

The last time McDow was arrested, it had been reported Holmes used a bail bondsman. I never read how much she was charged, but I did read that in N. Carolina up to 15% of the bond can be required. That part - whatever she paid the bail agency- wasn't returned.

Also, in your other post you complained about how slowly it took for him to receive his sentence; I don't know for sure, but that very well might have been McDow's lawyers dragging things out by negotiating that plea deal. His senten... [ More ]

, Litebets27, isn't it fascinating that North Carolina's judicial or prison system is so backed up that it took almost 1.5 years for this man (who never hid/fled, forfited any of his 3 bail bonds) to receive his sentence?

That's a lot of time to eat up people who care about the individual's money in lawyer fees and court fees! That is unfair. Isn't it time for North Carolina (and any other state within this country) to set a goal to dole out its sentences within 11 months... [ More ]

According to some reports, the sauce master got all shook up at the attention that was being paid to Ms Holmes bailing him out on a consistent basis.

Have you noticed that the only time these types of lottery winners see the light is when all the money is gone?

If you take a look at Sharon Tirabassi, Michael Carrol and Callie Rogers, none of them wised up until all they were bankrupt. Then and only then did the light bulb click on. Right now, the only thing working in Marie's favor is that she won such a large sum. She actually has a chance of coming to her senses before everything is gone.
