LOTTERY MONEY
In 1976, Erika Earnhart won one million dollars in the lottery with an annual income of fifty thousand dollars after taxes. Her heart-breaking story since then includes two divorces, a child-custody dispute, alimony payments, and debt piled on debt. She borrows from the bank in anticipation of her next lottery check. Had she known the future, she says, “I’d have torn up that ticket, or put it in someone else’s name.” She still plays the lottery, hoping to win and catch up financially.
