\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The last couple weeks our stores were swamped with customers buying Powerball tickets in a extremely unlikely attempt to win the big jackpot. \u00a0 I saw people of all walks of life lining up at the self-serve machine (and then requesting help because they were too dumb to figure it out…) and of course none of them won it (in our area.)<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Buying a ticket that gives you a chance at something less likely than being hit by lightning multiple times seems questionable, but nothing matches the audacity\u00a0of this woman from Tennessee. \u00a0She put up a FundMe page because she supposedly spent all of her money buying Powerball tickets and then didn’t have enough money to get back home.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0The scarier part is that she actually managed to raise $800 before the page was taken down by FundMe. \u00a0There are claims now that it was just a joke, but if she actually got people to send her $800 like that it seems to be that would be fraud–unless you don’t consider tricking total idiots like that should\u00a0constitute fraud.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 It’s also been said that she plans to use the money to….you guessed it…buy more Powerball tickets. \u00a0Stupid is as stupid does.<\/p>\n

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.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 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.<\/em><\/p>\n Despite the chances of anyone winning the jackpot being\u00a01 in 292.2 million<\/a>, Nicole still decided to go big, and unfortunately now can\u2019t go home because she allegedly doesn\u2019t have any money.<\/em><\/p>\n Please help me and my family as we have exhausted 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 \u00a0and one share, I\u2019m 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\u2019t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For your charitable donations, Nicole promises to make you her #MCM or #WCW. Yet, despite the gall of the Go Fund Me Page, some users simply weren\u2019t in support of her attempts.<\/em><\/p>\n Sonya Hagans quoted new viral internet star, Michelle Dobyne and wrote \u201cNot tuhday\u201d while Kenyatta Gibson was a bit more spirited in her response.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cGuuuuuuuuuuurl\u2026\u2026.I \u2018SWEATERGAAAAAWD\u2019 if I see one person give you one rusty copper penny I will spend ten times what you spent on lottery tickets on PLANE tickets to fly to their humble abode so spoiled in riches that they can afford to make it rain on Sweet Brown like ratchet humans such as you who choose to spend their cash on Remy, Flaming Hot Cheetos, VOSS Water and Powerball , and commence to kicking every single one of their asses!!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The last couple weeks our stores were swamped with customers buying Powerball tickets in a extremely unlikely attempt to win the big jackpot. \u00a0 I saw people of all walks of life lining up at the self-serve machine (and then requesting help because they were too dumb to figure it out…) and of Read More…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-customer-stories"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1585"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1588,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585\/revisions\/1588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
