Woman creates GoFundMe page to raise money she lost playing Powerball.

Cinnamon Nicole from Cordova, TN created the page after spending her life savings on Powerball tickets. She bought as many tickets as she could in order to win the $1.6 billion jackpot (she was sure that she would win). She later found out that the winning tickets were sold in California, Florida, and Tennessee.
Nicole claims to be stuck and unable to go home because she is flat broke. She made the GoFundMe page, and in 7 hours, was able to raise $800.

The following is the welcome message on her page:
"Please help me and my family as we have exhausted 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."

 She also says that anyone who donates will become her #MCM or #WCW. (What the f*ck!?)

The fundraiser was eventually shut down, as the campaign violated the rules of the site.

My Two Cents:

Folks, I did some investigating on this and found out that the entire situation was a hoax. I went onto Cinnamon Nicole's Facebook page and members of her page confirmed the hoax.

I don't know which is worse: someone fundraising to get back money they lost while playing Powerball, or someone being bored enough to concoct such a hoax. Real people donated to that fundraiser. I hope those people were reimbursed.
As for the person who made the page, I'm not sure what you were trying to prove, but that wasn't funny.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
