Marie Holmes, the $188 million Powerball lottery jackpot winner from February’s drawing, has spent millions on bailing her boyfriend out of jail. She’s been in trouble since winning all that money in spite of her intentions to put the money to good use. When she first won the jackpot, she said she wanted to be sure that her children never had to worry about their futures, donate some to charity, and find a nice home somewhere.
Since that time, Holmes has been discovered to be living in a trailer and trying to rescue her felon boyfriend, Lamarr McDow. The Inquisitr has covered several stories regarding this, in which Marie Holmes was charged — along with several others — of drug possession when authorities were on a search for McDow.
In the latest news to hit the internet, Holmes has reportedly spent $9 million total in getting McDow out of jail, Madam Noir reports.
According to WWAY TV 3, Holmes posted a comment on her Facebook page to critics after Lamarr McDow was released.
