Jilted Florida lottery winner files for bankruptcy

A Florida woman has filed for bankruptcy after losing a large chunk of a $1 million lottery jackpot to her boyfriend who sued her for failing to share.

The Orlando Sentinel reports 62-year-old Lynn Anne Poirier didn't list former boyfriend Howard Browning as a creditor in the case filed Saturday. She listed the case against Browning as "pending."

Last month a Seminole County jury ordered her to pay Browning $291,000 after deciding that the couple had a valid but unwritten contract to split any large lottery jackpot.

Browning's attorney Sean Sheppard asked a judge last week to tack on more than $150,000, claiming interest due from the 2007 jackpot.

Poirier took a one-time lump sum $750,000 payment and claimed in court there wasn't an agreement to split the jackpot.

"" Authorities arrested seven people in the death
of a 20-year-old lottery winner in Georgia who
was slain in a home invasion.
The suspected killers targeted Craigory Burch
Jr., who worked as a forklift driver before a
$434,000 jackpot he snagged in late
November, authorities said.
A trio of masked men blasted their way into
his Fitzgerald, Ga., home, demanded his wallet
and riddled Burch with bullets just two months
after his big win.
Although the victim’s girlfriend recalled only
three suspects inside the home during the
attack, seven suspects were captured and all
face malice murder, armed robbery, aggravated
assault and firearm possession charges,
according to WALB-TV .
Three were identified as Fitzgerald residents
Earnest Holcomb, 27; Wayan Jordan, 17; and
Rosalyn Swain, 22.
Moultrie residents Keyona Dyous, 24, and
Nathaniel Baker, 28, and Tifton residents
Dabrentis Overstreet, 19, and Anjavell
Johnson, 21, were also arrested. Jordan will
be charged as an adult.
The shooter was not immediately identified.
Burch’s girlfriend Jasmine Hendricks ran for
help after witnessing the gunmen slay her
boyfriend.
"When they came in, he said, 'don't do it bro.
Don't do it in front of my kids. Please don't
do it in front of my kids and old lady,'"
Hendricks said.""



...and a few others:

"" Burch is not the first lottery winner to find
misfortune after winning a big score of cash.
Chicago resident Urooj Khan died mysteriously
of cyanide poisoning in June 2012, a month
after winning $1 million. His widow and
daughter split the estate — a lump sum of
$424,000.
Jack Whitaker, who won $315 million
Powerball in December 2002, had about
$745,000 in cash stolen in the years following
the jackpot.
In 1998, a disgruntled relative allegedly hired a
hitman to kill his brother, William Post III, after
he won $16.2 million.
Jeffrey Dampier was shot to death by his
sister-in-law in 2005, nine years after he won
a $20 million lottery.""

pretty serious Crap!

I'd take my chances

Wouldnt pose for a pic with one of those big checks though....

that really would be asking for it!

Telling others about winning is costly and unwise... money and its lack can bring out the worst in families and all others too...

Congragulations.
Thanks for sharing this great information here. This is very helpful for me. We Gave Florida Lottery Results, See your Winning Numbers>> <a href="https://floridaloteryresults.com/">https://floridaloteryresults.com/</a>
.

A lot of lottery winners end up broke and/or filing for bankruptcy.

Most people who are bad at managing small amounts of money are even worse at managing large amounts of money.

It's kind of like a person who is dangerous driving a car at 30 mph and gets in fender benders will be more dangerous driving a car at a 100 mph and is going to have worse accidents.

My brother recommended I might like this blog.
He was entirely right. This post actually made my day.
You cann’t imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
