Did you hear about the news about the woman that set up a "GoFundMe" account because she had spent her life savings on Powerball tickets?  It had the cyber world in an uproar. 

This woman actually tried to use a legitimate charity funding page to try to recoup the money she lost playing Powerball.  Wow, I'm at a loss for words.

The good new is she was shut down pretty quickly.  If this had not become such a widespread story online, she very well may have continued this fund for who knows how long.

A GoFundMe spokesperson said, “The campaign in question was removed for a violation of GoFundMe’s Terms & Conditions,”

In her defense, she indicated the account was not actually a serious account.  “I can’t even like/share anymore… My page is under review!!!” she posted on Facebook. “I Thank all of you who actually stuck by me and stood up for me, I appreciate it. People are so quick to judge without knowing or even considering anything other than their point of view. But this ain’t no serious post….Continue to bash, scorn/ scandalize my name ‪#‎ItIsWhatItIs‬ ‪#‎GoFundMe‬ ‪#‎YallReallyUpsetThough‬.”
