Marie Holmes was lucky enough to win the Power ball lottery just a few weeks ago and it was awesome because she is young, just 26yrs old and a single mother of 4 children.
She won $188 million in one lump sum which translated to $88 million after taxes. Like any lottery winner she had huge plans, give to the church, put up money for her children’s college funds but then life happens.
Instead of, or in addition to all of that she also decided to help your boyfriend out who is in jail for trafficking heroin. Lamar McDow was caught with more than 8000 bags of heroin and needed a cool $3 mill to make bail. Prior to that he had been to jail for parole violations, drug and paraphernalia in Holmes’ Brunswick County home. In all Marie spent $6million on her man.
Since then, Marie has been judged a lot in the media and as you can imagine, Marie is not here for the criticism. She was very outspoken telling everyone to mind their business on the Facebook page of the news outlet that carried the story.
“What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money and not how I spend mine this is benefiting Y’all how? And no he’s no drug dealer or user but who are Y’all to judge anybody? I will definitely pray for Y’all because it’s much need…they talked about Jesus so I’m not surprised Y’all are talking about me but be blessed though,”
Well guess what, she is right. How she spends her money is very much so her business. My only thing is, dang I wish I could have pulled those numbers that day, especially since I do not have a drug dealer boyfriend and everything.
While many of us cannot ever say we would never ever do anything foolish for love the truth is we just might. We can only hope that we are not in the put in a circumstance where have to spend $6 million dollars on the jail house. Human behavior is so interesting!

I thought it was $3million? Any amount of money spent on him is a waste though
Hope he’s worth the money she could have put away for her grandchildren education and not to mention more research for her disabled child’s medical care and a state of the art fully accessible house to live in, in the future. Hope his d.ck is worth the sacrifice. Silly things love will make you she’ll be broke by the end of next year do to this bailout.
??????????
Dumb ass!!
She’ll be broke very soon, how is it these people win the lottery and can’t hold on to the money or do something constructive it! Counselling is so much cheaper, she better wake and wise up. Drop his butt like a hot potato!!
I doubt he would’ve done the same for her… shes a mother…That money would’ve been used on my children before anything.
I was born with a physical disability and she wins the big one just to spend this much money on a man whos going to drive her broke by next year if not sooner omg hell she could’ve put the one on a bunch of homes for the disabled the market needs more state of the art fully accessible home for people with disabilities who want to be first time home owner not everyone with a disability lives off the government it shows she didn’t think about ways to make her money work for her before shade this decision smgdh what a waste of a win
This is one silly broad!!!
Idiot!!
Smh
What a shame
Is this story real?
Father In Heaven and it’s so many organizations that need financial support.
Smh, smh, smh, smh…
All I can say is OOOOKAYYY
Well, at least if it’s bail she’ll get it back.
when do you get bail back?
@Tiffany Farmer, you get bail back when you show up to your court appearance.
There are many ways to look at this, 1. Are all the children his?, 2. When he was caught trafficking was he trying just to make a better life for she and the kids? 3. Only she knows if he’s really worth that 6M, 4. Is it that she’s just remembering his kindness? I will not judge this lady, All I will say If that was me I would very happy to have a woman like that by my side.
for question #2, she hit the lottery why is he STILL selling drugs and then she said he wasnt a drug dealer she seriously need help
Didn’t this happen b4 she won?? I don’t know, did the news say?
I dont think she had 6 million dollars before this happened
Ok just stop it!!
It’s her money If she chooses to help her man out that’s her choice who really cares
I agree
Stop playing. I’m judging her. We all have our stupid moments but most of us will not go this far.
It’s her money damn black women!
Stupid
But he’s only out on bail, chances are after trial he’s heading right back to the bighouse. All the money down the drain. She was better off getting a condo or house & a new car & invest in her kids future. Smh
What does he have on her that she could not start a new life with her children and leave his behind to pay for his crime. A man over the welfare and security of my children… All the —- in the world is not worth what she did!!!! She ain’t right just not right!
If she’s weak minded it’s probably the D.
Just damn stupid
Always the morons who win.
Seriously!!!!!! Man do you know what I could have done with even a quarter of that!!!! Why some women so stupid!!?????
Wake up young lady.
Now he is going to help her spend up all the rest of her money. SAD!!!
Her lottery curse begins
She Maaddddd
PLEASE tell me this is a JOKE!
Damn fool
Tell me this is not so..Why not just get him a good lawyer well then again, I’m just going to sip some tea on this one..SMH
Stupid!!!! (In my Made a voice) we might see her in a couple of years on that show “My life after I won the Lottery” she is going to be broke like the rest of them.
this can’t be true
A platinum dick.. Will make u do dumb s**t…
That’s love I guess
She’s out of her mind really
Stupid, what love got it do with it??
Im dead serious. Wanted to smack some senses in her
Meanwhile I’m over here hoping my card doesn’t get declined when I buy groceries ?
Did I miss something? Did this article say she had $88,000,000 left after taxes? She spent $6,000,000 of that on her man? That’s a lot of money, but maybe he was helping her and her kids out before he left. She possibly felt like that’s a drop in the bucket compared to what she has left…I don’t know. I just wish I could win that much money!
Please tell me this is a joke! So the black lady has to bail out her thug boyfriend ok I get it. Horrible ?
Duh!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t! She’s a damn ass. If she didn’t have that money he would’ve been behind them bars still. Damn fool!
And he still probably do time girl…….
God blessed her with the means to care for her children and herself, but it seems first priority was not them! SAD!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!
Smdh love is real out here.
LAWD, she gonna spend ALL the babies college fund money before it’s all said and done
Sorry to say his ass would be locked up I’d be nice and give him some money on his canteen. I have children and a future to think about, wouldn’t waste my money I love you but from a distance.
Dat luv
Some people need to use their brain. Idiot.
