A woman named Cinnamon Nicole from Tennessee says she spent all of her money purchasing Powerball tickets assuming she'd win the 1.6 billion dollar jackpot.

She didn't. Now she's broke and can't pay her bills. So Cinnamon decided to ask the public to help. She started a Go Fund Me page.

On that page she wrote, "Please help me and my family as we have exausted all of our funds. We spent all of our money on lottery tickets (expecting to win the 1.5 billion) and are now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like  and one share, 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! PLEASE, won’t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW."

The page has been removed but did quite well.

She raised close to a thousand dollars in just a few hours.
