Moms of the world, raise your hands: One of our own has hit the jackpot. Mother of four, Marie Holmes, reveals that she won $188 million with her Powerball ticket in the $564 million lottery drawing on Wednesday.

“I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw the ticket and checked it,” the 26-year-old from Shallotte, North Carolina, told WECT the next day. She added that her reaction gave her son and three girls a real fright. “I was telling my kids that we don’t have to struggle any more, and I was yelling when I did it, so they ran and said I’d scared them.”

THAT's somebody that i like to see win the lottery. i remember this one guy that owned a successful construction business hit the lotto and i didn't have that same good feeling cuz this guy was already worth over a million when he hit...


***
I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

I really love this part.

“I was telling my kids that we don’t have to struggle any more, and I was yelling when I did it, so they ran and said I’d scared them.”




Holmes can choose to take her $188 million as an annuity paid over 30 years, according to the North Carolina Lottery’s Twitter page, or as a $127 million lump sum payment before federal and state taxes are withheld.


This is a tough choice for a young person at 26.

I know if I came into that much cash, first thing I'd do is hire some kind of financial planner or something, get my shit in order.

I hope she doesn't go broke, but the record of extremely poor lottery winners isn't very good.

Hopefully she can get through this windfall unscathed.
I definitely would give my name/pic to the press.
I'd disappear with the money for at least 2 years telling only, at most, 3 people what happened.
Promise to give them a bonus if they keep their mouths shut

No state law says you actually have to show ur face. your name is public record however, not neccesarily your person.

besides, the fact she came out so early tells me she has no real plans to manage that money: No trust, financial advisor, etc. yeah I'm judging but this chik is doomed!

sounded like state-appointed

so i guess they lay out her choices/obligations and leave her to take it from there

a person will play those same numbers the next day and then hide the date or change the date.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

it is the law that lottery winners be publicly identified.You actual sign a "waiver" before you can collect your money.

The rule of letting the public know who wins the lotto is for the public's sake ...not the winners.

The point of doing so is to assure the public that actual REAL people ARE winning these games.
And thus it could be YOU who wins big next

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. — A North Carolina woman who won a $188 million lottery jackpot earlier this year has been charged with having a small amount of marijuana.

WWAY reported that Brunswick County Sheriff’s deputies have cited 26-year-old Marie Holmes with possession of marijuana.

Holmes was recently cited with having a half ounce or less of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at her home in Shallotte.

The arrest comes after deputies reportedly went to Holmes’ home to arrest her roommate for violating the terms of his release.

Deputies allegedly smelled marijuana, got a search warrant, found the marijuana and cited her. She has court in September.

Holmes won one of the three winning tickets for the Feb. 11 Powerball Jackpot of $564 million. She went with the lump sum of $127 million, which came out to be about $88 million after taxes.

Holmes has four young children, all under the age of 9. She had said that the money will make a difference for her kids.

The two other winning tickets were bought in Puerto Rico and Texas.

WECT in Wilmington has provided video of drug agents at Holmes’ home. Check out that video above.

Prosecutor says lotto winner paid for drug suspect’s $3M bond

Lamarr McDow (Source: Brunswick Co. Jail) and Marie Holmes
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A prosecutor says a lottery winner was behind the $3 million bond that got a drug suspect out of jail earlier this year. Now that suspect is back behind bars under a bond that’s twice as high.

Assistant District Attorney Chris Thomas said in Brunswick County Court this morning that Marie Holmes paid for the bond that set Lamarr McDow free in March just weeks after she won a $188 million Powerball jackpot. It was widely rumored at the time that Holmes, who Thomas referred to as McDow’s fiancee, had put up the money, but court records showed only information on payment of the bond from three bail bondsmen, who do not have to disclose who paid them to post the bond.

Brunswick County Sheriff’s deputies arrested McDow, 31, again yesterday afternoon for allegedly violating the curfew requirements of his pre-trial release on GPS monitoring, BCSO spokeswoman Emily Flax said. She said when deputies got to the home McDow shares with Holmes on Boverie Street in the Rutledge neighborhood in Shallotte, there was a strong odor of marijuana inside, so they got a search warrant. During that search around 10 p.m. Flax says deputies found a gun and charged McDow with possession of a firearm by a felon. In court today the state said the gun is registered to Holmes, but that McDow had handled it, which led to the charge.

McDow, who investigators have said is a validated gang member who goes by the street name “Hot Sauce,” is back in jail under more than $6 million bond.

Officers say they also found marijuana in the home, which led to charges for Holmes and two other people in the house. Another person was charged with resisting an officer.

Holmes, 26, walked away with nearly $88 million after taking the lump sum and paying taxes on her mid-February Powerball win.

McDow was one of three suspects arrested in November 2014 as part of a year-long investigation. He was charged with crimes including trafficking heroin and possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin. The investigation stemmed from an incident in July in the Shallotte area when more than 8,000 bags of heroin was seized.

I 'think' I'd choose the annuity. seems safer in the sense of not being able to immediately spend the cash from a lump some. and if I happend to not be around to get it all, I'd have provisions on getting it to the kids.

thinking outloud...

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

to bail out hot sauce.

I went to Southport this weekend and its right past Shallote. There isn't shit in Shalotte but heat, open fields and drugs.

She should be in a gated community or in a big ass house on the ocean or in Wilmington.

Honestly, she should prolly leave the area altogether.

She is going to get killed if she stays.

You basically have to move half way around the world once you win that type of money.

This is also why so many athletes end up broke. That 30 for 30 called Broke was a trip. One dude said the wrost criminals dont wear mask, they wear suits and ties.

The real problem is some people cannot handle money for shit. Doesn't make a difference if they got a little or a lot. A fool and his money are soon parted, indeed.

bailing out hot sauce tho?

She probably spent a couple of grand with a bailsbondman and is exposed to lose 9M if dude bounces. Which is pretty dumb, but yeah.

but FB shit talking isn't an L.

and I'm not sure why begging for rides when she was broke is a bad thing but this is what happens when you don't move. The vampires are out for blood.

my thing tho is why is this side piece trying to cut herself off by screaming about sauces payouts. STFU and work harder at juggling his balls.

What a waste of a jackpot.

Plus she's has the kind of money that could afford the kind of attorneys that should be able to keep shit like that from happening and if she's not, again, why should I care?
