And she's asking for money so she can do it again! "I’m 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!"  |

Jeez...she's already got over $800. I'm not sure who to call out on this. Her for spending all her money on lottery tickets or the idiots that are reimbursing her!

couldn't she just strip a few more nights a week? She could earn it back quickly.

This has got to be a hoax. Satire, I mean. Even if the account is real.  |

There's also a Facebook post floating around that purports to be some kid from the Bronx who claims he won it all and wants to share his good fortune with people who share the post. I was dumbstruck by how many people were congratulating him and spilling their sad stories (many likely fake as well).
The human race is doomed.

The GoFundMe page has been taken down. Unfortunate- I was going to post it on FB to see if any of my friends wanted to help this poor woman. |

Poor, thing. She's sadly a local.
Bloody fools who gave her a cent.

I think this Tommy Lee Jones line from Men In Black sums it up well ( I would replace "is" with "can be"): "A person is smart, people are dumb panicky dangerous animals" |

I just saw something that said it was a joke, I'm hoping that's true. I wouldn't put it past anyone though, I had someone post on fb about a family starting a GFM because they wanted to buy a house and they are hoping people will just give them money so they can do so  Um, save your damn money and get a house like the rest of us! That post came from the girlfriend of a guy I went to school with who up and left his wife and five kids to be with her  Him and his wife were always so loving and cute on fb and then he went on a trip and met this girl who looks twelve and told his wife he still loved her but couldn't leave this other girl  Sorry this had nothing to do with any of this but I can't even with some of the GFM things since I saw that post! Ugh!!! Dumbasses  |

Yes, the page is gone. People are stupid enough to do it though--both spending all their money on the tickets and then trying to get strangers to help them.
