1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. Let me tell you a tale.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: A tale about a waitress called Tonda Dickison. She's an

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: American waitress. This happened a number of years ago, nineteen

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: ninety nine. She was tipped a lottery ticket. So some

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: guy says thank you. He's a lottery ticket to say thanks,

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: and she won ten million dollars.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: A lot of things cascaded from that moment because she

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: quit a job, and then her co workers said that

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: she had agreed that if it was going to be

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: a winning ticket, they'd get some of that, so they

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: sued her. Her colleague sued her for their share. That

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: was upheld in court, that it was overturned, upheld over.

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: This one went on for years and years. Then the

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: guy who gave her the ticket sued her because she

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: had made a throwaway comment saying if I win, I'll

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: buy you a truck. And she claimed her lawyers claimed

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: it was a throwaway comment, the sort of thing you

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: just it wasn't a deal.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Where's my truck? It's like Hemsy took years ago when

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: he was on Home and Away and I said to him,

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: you're going to be bigger than Eric Banner. And he goes, really,

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: and when you are you buy me a jet ski,

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm bereft.

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: When you got and used to got those taser monks.

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 2: Down, he doesn't take my calls anymore.

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: No funny that. So that wasn't even the end of it.

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: So she's being sued by her colleagues who wanted to share,

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: being sued by the guy who bought her the ticket.

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: Then her ex husband kidnapped her at gunpoint, Oh my god,

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: and she ended up shooting him in the chest to

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: escape this situation. And then she got she had to

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: go to court from the IRS. Their taxation department took

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: her to court. So this whole cascading horror from the

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: moment she won ten million dollars. You'd think you win

36
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, your life turns around. It did, but

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: not in the best of ways.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't. It doesn't. There's a lot of tales like

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: that where people have won lottos and things like that

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: and it just never works out.
