Woman Who Won $88 Million Lottery Has Since Spent $9 Million On Her Man’s Bail And She Ain’t Care

ABC

In February of this year, Marie Holmes, of North Carolina, took home $88 million in Powerball winnings. That’s her after taxes pull, too, so she’s sitting pretty pretty.

I would feel comf with that in my bank. I might even quit my job, although blogging is pretty fun. But if it was my wife that won it? I think I’d definitely keep working. Sure, that’s partially because of old, ingrained gender norms that make me care about being a breadwinner, but I also think that would help keep a healthy balance in the relationship.

Holmes fiance, Lamar McDow, didn’t quit his job when Holmes won, because he was in jail for doing it already. Because his job was dealing heroin.

And while that may suck at first, it’s kinda NBD when your girl’s got that much stashed away. Bail and lawyers ain’t no worry no more.

In fact, according to WWAY, Holmes has now paid his bail twice. First, after McDow, also known as Hot Sauce, was arrested with 8,000 bags of heroin. That went down in November of 2014. When Holmes struck it big, she went straight to get out her man. On $3 million bail.

Now, he’s been busted for violating the curfew of his bail conditions. That bail was set at six milli, and Holmes again paid.

She had this to say on Facebook about it, commenting on the article by WWAY, which, awesome.

“What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money and not how I spend mine this is benefitting Y’all how? And no he’s no drug dealer or user but who are Y’all to judge anybody? I will definitely pray for Y’all because it’s much need…they talked about Jesus so I’m not surprised Y’all are talking about me but be blessed though,”

Straight. Do what you want. Even if that seems insane.
