Hey, you never know.
The catchphrase for Powerball was the driving force behind this
Tennessee woman’s GoFundMe before the website decided to shut
down her get-rich-quick dreams, just like the lottery did.
Cinnamon Nicole and her family claimed to have spent their
entire fortune on Powerball tickets, in a Hail Mary shot to win
the record-setting $1.6 billion jackpot, the now-deleted
GoFundMe read.
She said they expected to win the lottery, but the effort fell
flat after failing to beat an astronomical 1 in 292 million odds.
Like demonstrating the definition of insanity, Nicole asked for
$100,000 from donors, so she could try the same thing again and
expect different results.

“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 (sic) and spend another fortune
trying to hit it big again!”
For some commenters, this brazen request to fund her family’s
lottery habit was a red flag that the GoFundMe was a hoax.
“Pretty sure she’s being sarcastic. Lighten up, people!!,”
Brittany Woods wrote on the page.
Others, who thought the campaign was serious, did not find any
humor in the request.
"Honestly im (sic) not donating or sharing because this is a
stupid request. This site is for people who REALLY need help not
for people being irresponsible and wasting all of their money on
the lottery," Debbie Barker-Thompson said.
Even if the page was a joke, at least seven people took it
seriously, raising $810 in seven hours before it was taken down.
The campaign was taken down for violating GoFundMe’s terms and
conditions, media director Kelsea Little said in a statement.
The money raised was refunded to its donors.
Nicole did not reply to the Daily News's request for comment.
