Well for the real Powerball winner Marie Holmes; she is probably mimicking the scene below from the movie Friday.
I don’t ever remember seeing a young black person win this significant amount of money through the lottery. The myth that Ice Cube mentioned in the movie All About The Benjamin’s was seeming more of a reality. That myth being that “only Puerto Ricans and old people win the lottery.” That’s why I wrote about this story; because to be honest, it felt good to see the young sister get that blessing. In addition to that she is a single mother of four which makes the story even sweeter. Congrats to her and her children; because it is truly a blessing. To read more on this story click here.
