The Mother of All GoFundMes

Okay, I just found this article, and I CANNOT believe someone would a) Spend ALL of their money on Powerball tickets thinking they actually had a chance to win, and b) Would have the gall to start a GoFundMe to try to recoup their losses:

https://www.yahoo.com/music/powerball-reimbursement-fund-page-created-235504618.html

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the actual GoFundMe page seems to have been deleted, probably because of the backlash she surely received for doing this... 

Just wanted to share the ridiculousness.

I don't believe this can be real

"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!"

So terrible!

when I saw this title I hoped you were thinking to that article because it is just so stupid. Or maybe it is smart, because some people seem to like contributing to stupid go fund me type campaigns. I would be ok if GFM disappeared but I doubt that will happen.

I thought it may have been a fake, but when I googled "GoFundMe Powerball," this story came up on a bunch of sites... I kinda wish she hadn't deleted the GFM page, I want to see the comments on it.

“Guuuuuuuuuuurl…….I ‘SWEATERGAAAAAWD’ 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!!!”

^^ That response was hilarious
