Noise Gate and Teddi, both of you are correct in your assumptions. As i have been trying to drive home this point from the beginning of this post. Lets not all jump to crazy conclusions about this situation that Marie Holmes is in. We don't know nothing we cannot see. What's been reported is that she was arrested in a house, so we don't know for sure if that is her house or her moms. Yes she got caught with weed but weed doesn't mean you are like a crack fiend. And do we know if it's hers or not... [ More ]

They can have there own house and $tuff so it's going to impact not only mine, but people around me. Holmes said of her family.

Holmes admits she can have more $tuff, much more, more and more more $tuff....do U need more $TUFF

Too easy? LOL..

If you first win a significant amount of money, they should not be wasted on more gambling.

She can spend 100 million to win, but risk winning only 25 million. Other people might win in the same draw too.

You do not seem smart enough to realize this.

Are you paying attention to who you're talking about? Some people think he's a troll, but I'm pretty sure he's sincere but extremely stupid. It's certainly possible that he's got a significant mental illness, too. Whatever his problems are, you could teach a dozen pigs to sing far more easily than you could teach him something a 3 year old could learn in 30 seconds. Hearing anything sensible from him is about as likely as winning powerball without having a ticket.

No matter how big you choose to make your font, she's only been charged with marijuana possession and paraphernalia not any on other type of drug and not even the gun, since it wasn't hers. So I repeat, whether she uses weed or not, it's not a drug that's going to have her hooked and bankrupted.

Without getting into a discussion about the editorial accuracy of the Inquisitr, is there any actual proof that she physically resides there, or could it possibly be that she just kept ownership of the trailer? They've been many lottery winners featured on a number of programs who have moved into better homes but who kept their previous home for a number of reasons. It could even be that she is (like Gloria had) waiting on a home to be ready. Point 3, Googling or goggling something means nothing... [ More ]

You do realize this was weed, right? This wasn't crack or heroine. I have yet to hear any story where someone got so strung out on weed that they lost their home and was turning tricks to support their habit, so just dial the crazy down a tad.

In any case, since your ongoing rants have always been about how easy the jackpots are to win, then she didn't screw you out of anything. It's so easy, how can you not have gotten your cut yet? Things that make you go hmmmm.

I think a lottery winner has to be careful about a lot of things, but from my reading and research (about anonymous claiming), there are four major dangers one would need to guard against:

4. Strangers - people they don't know - out to rob them of their money. It's rare, but it has happened.

3. Trusting the money to shady investment firms and allowing them or someone else to have total control of the funds.

2. The winner's family. (or even close friends) This can be a threat th... [ More ]

Winners don't need to invest, all they need to do is buy more tickets and keep winning. Are they not smart enough to realize this

To suddenly abandon friends and move in a different direction is extremely hard for some. They need to wean themselves off their former lifestyle in many cases associates.

Fun, Nobody on this site cares whether she's black(which you mentioned three times in 7 sentences), white, green,orange or sky blue pink. What we all talked about was her choices in life and what could happen if she wasn't careful. Now she's been arrested because of her lifestyle choice, which has nothing to do with skin color.

Please take your gormlessness elsewhere......

I was one of those people who disagreed with hearsetrax back in spring because i felt it was unfair to speculate. Even with this knowledge of her recent arrest, i stand by what i said 5 months ago. There was nothing on that article to suggest she would waste that fortune. So the only thing left to explain the prediction of her losing the money is/was jealousy.

This Powerball winner probably hasn't blown all of her money, but living in her current situation and associating with the people she does, will probably start to erode the interest she earned this year(provided she invested properly)

Just an observation:

Many Professionals do Pot, she was not nailed with Cocaine. It's only a story because she won the Lottery and it's quite possible that she has invested the bulk of her money.She may have had this BF before she won you don't dump someone you love simply because you now have money. Her choices may be poor at present but let's not cast stones at this woman. Perhaps she will make changes moving forward.

In a drug bust, when drugs drug paraphernalia is found if it found on a counter, table....etc. and no one own up to it being their. Then all adults present are charge with possession of drugs...etc. It don't matter if you actually had anything to do with it or not. That the law.
