I read about her. Her family kept clawing into her to get money, until she had nothing. She should have moved when she won.
An awful lot of it was her own stupidity, and her loser husband’s drinking and drugs.
Actually, my nephew met her shortly after she won the money. He worked at Future Shop at the time and she struck up a conversation with him while she was purchasing high end appliances. My nephew always was a pretty smart guy (he works for a California tech company, but up here in Ontario, and makes loads of money) and Sharon hired him to manage her Cadillac Escapade. Not sure of the name...is it Escapade or Escalade?
She had this Escapade constantly being redone and she put it in shows. She named it after Babyphat, or whatever that stupid name brand is. It was always being repainted, redone, etc. She had Dave (my nephew) purchase hundreds of Babyphat purses so that they could be pulled apart and then reworked into custom seats. Dave had x boxes or whatever they are installed in the backs of the front seats. He was always doing something with that Escapade. Absolutely nuts, but she wanted someone to do it and he did enjoy it because it was such an outrageous project, and money was no object if he wanted to do something.
Sharon would also ask Dave’s girlfriend to babysit for a few hours and insist on paying her $1200.00. She sent people on trips. She blew through much of that money herself.
