Their substance abuse drug addiction put them here. Their habit cost so much now. They

now have to steal commit burglaries to cover their habits. This couple has two daughters

who now has seen their parents hit rock bottom. Who, has been really taking care of this

kids ? Being with this type of parent isn't a safe place for kids.

My turn depends on which game and whatever amount of winnings is expected, but some times even with games like pick-3, the turns are few and far between.

And here I thought you were making a comparison and saying a Bonnie Clyde like couple .

Chuck Berry came along in 1926, before the famous couple was whacked, and probably about the time his grandma gave him his ding-a-ling .

Another fun fact: we never invaded Japan but made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Thanks for enlightening me on Bonnie Clyde music, l did not know that.l thought they were around when Chuck Berry came along. Bet you didn t know that Japan has never been invaded, until the US moved on them.

noise-gate, Bonnie Clyde lived in a different time in America. They lived and died in the Great Depression. The good ole days. Not!

This couple could not take advantage of today's economy. They probably purchased the winning tickets with the ill-gotten gains from robbery.

Hopefully, they will take advantage of the educational courses offered in prison. Not the ways to become smarter criminals.

Not a criminal, but saying ...'you can wn any lottery @ will' is saying any one of us could win the lottery because I'm sure we all by @ will. When is my turn, I always play the lottery @ will

You not thinking like Mitch Stephanie. You asking them to purchase more tickets, they asking why? You fail to see that they transitioned from buying to taking. You failed to see the forest for the trees. But don t worry JJ, you still have time to repent from your ignorance.

Dayum you are a one trick pony.

jjtheprince14 — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 20:17:13 GMT

But like I said, wouldn't it have been logical for them to buy more tickets and keep winning?

Why turn to crime when you can win any lottery at will

l can see how Stephanie Mitch ended up this way. This Bonnie Clyde duo came into money, lived high when that money dried up, they just had to continue the lifestyle they felt they had come to love and were serious on maintaining. What these two are trying or telling us is No one like being poor..again. It s a crying shame.

I can't even wrap my mind around this story. Sad, Angry. Sad cause they did this, angry cause I would like the opportunity to have that much money at one time. The sure selfishness,I hope they put some away for their children. Maybe in Jail they will find Jesus

From the facial appearance they look like they haven't long smoked a pipe before getting caught.

Police say Harvell, 28, and her husband, Mitchell Arnswald, 29,

Most married couples share the same last name even if hyphenated; guess it's different for future criminals.

Just buy more tickets and keep winning! Duh!

It's Michigan for crying out loud, a state where it's way too easy to win lotteries.

So much for a fresh start... I'm sure drugs are involved somehow. If someone is dealing with a addiction it won't take long to burn through the money once the bills are paid. I'm sure at the time they thought it would last forever. 3 years later and flat broke...not the first persons it happened to and won't be the last. David Lee Edwards is a good example of what not to do.

Three years later: The $500,000 is gone and they turned to crime instead of work.

What a waste!

Should have cleared over $300,000. Even 5% annual yield would be over $1,000 monthly dividends . . potentially enough to at least pay rent.

Sad story, not for them, but the victims and their two children.

Just wondering where did all the money go? Could have bought a home or a serious downpayment on one, but no you had to steal from your neighbors.

No pity for me whatsoever.

Michigan lottery winners charged in string of robberies

Lottery Post — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 16:13:21 GMT

Stephanie Harvell's luck seemed to have dried up before she bought a scratch-off lottery ticket in early 2016. She and her husband had recently lost a car, and that same morning, they had received an eviction notice from their home in Bay City, Mich. Then, she scraped away at that ticket and realized she had won $500,000.

I cried like a baby when I saw what I'd won, Harvell said, according to the Michigan Lottery, adding that she had visions of putting the cash toward a new home and a car.... [ More ]
