Marie Holmes Hits The Big Jackpot

When Marie Holmes hit the big jackpot in 2015, she was going through extremely hard times financially. At only 26 years old, she already had four children, one of which had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Taking care of children is hard enough, but one with special needs consumes even more time and energy.

Marie had to work five jobs for her to be able to care for her children. She was working for McDonald’s, Subway, KFC, Walmart, and Food Lion when she won a $188 million Powerball jackpot. It was her lucky day because her chances of winning were one to 175 million.
