What a sad story. Her baby faces a tough life. Charged with solicitation to sell heroin, IOW street dealers. The demand for heroin has shot thru the roof since the misguided war on opiates went into effect and people can't get prescription pain meds as easily. My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and is in constant pain. I don't know how she does it; I think I'd end my own life if I had it. But despite having a legitimate medical condition universally recognized as extremely painful, she has to jump... [ More ]

All winners are treated as equal and given life changing opportunities. If the jackpot is large enough.

Here is hoping that a Lottery Post Member or Staff wins MM tonight.

Orange will look good on her. Where's your smile, honey.

Did the humpty dance, got pregnant and running drugs. It really is sad when you could have done something more productive with your life and child. Certainly the money is all gone by now.

Never read anywhere the actual IQs of lottery players, but we can say for a fact this winner might be trying to prove why it's called dope .

Idiots spend more on the lottery. It's the Pareto principle, or the 80/20 rule. The most idiotic 20% of the population accounts for 80% of the lottery's revenues.

This is sad. If she was pregnant last May she has a small child someone else will raise while she is in prison. She had enough money to move and start over. No vision.

I believe it was the late Robin Williams who once quipped Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you are making too much money.

I'd amend that to Heroin means you shouldn't be trusted with ANY money.

Pregnant, too. SMH

Criminals ruin life for the rest of us. Local, State, and Federal Law Enforcement are fighting the good fight.

The demand side must be fought against as well.

That woman, Karlee Harbst, had won $1 million in the $5,000,000 Gold Rush Doubler game.

She was on what gamblers call a roll she had won $100 in the same scratch-off game just a week before.

The wins capped a troubled past for the Florida woman who had already racked up a number of drug possession arrests, petit theft, contempt of court and driving with... [ More ]
