Powerball Winner Spends $9 Million Bailing Her Fiance Out Of Jail Twice

NYDN - A North Carolina lottery winner used part of her $188 million jackpot to bail her convict fiancé out of jail — twice. Lamar (Hot Sauce) McDow, accused of trafficking and intending to sell heroin, was released from a Brunswick County jail last week on $6 million bail. While bondsmen do not have to release the name of who posted an inmate’s bail, McDow’s Powerball millionaire fiancée, Marie Holmes, likely footed the bill. Prosecutors said she bailed him out of jail once before, paying $3 million in March just weeks after she won the lottery, WWAY reported. McDow, who has a long criminal history including assault and drug possession convictions, was arrested in November following a yearlong investigation into drug trafficking rings. He was charged with trafficking heroin and possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin. While he was behind bars, Holmes won a $188 million Powerball jackpot. She took home $88 million after taxes when she decided to take the lump sum.  Weeks after her windfall, she paid $3 million to bail her beau out of jail. But McDow was arrested again in July for violating the curfew requirements put in place after his release. He again walked away from jail Aug. 5 after posting a $6 million bail. Holmes took to Facebook to defend her spending habits. “What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money and not how I spend mine this is benefitting Y’all how? And no he’s no drug dealer or user but who are Y’all to judge anybody? I will definitely pray for Y’all because it’s much need…they talked about Jesus so I’m not surprised Y’all are talking about me but be blessed though,” she posted on WWAY’s Facebook page.

I was about to write this blog saying that spending 9 million bucks to bail your repeat offender fiance out of jail multiple times is as dumb as it gets and the fastest way to end up one of those people who won the lottery and somehow end up broke. The quickest way to be featured on a TLC show called something like “Winning The Lottery Ruined My Life.”

But thats because I saw that this dude’s name was Lamar “Hot Sauce” McDow. There’s just no way you can let a dude named Hot Sauce McDow rot behind bars. Some guys just cant live in a cage, man. Society is trying to cage the songbird that is Hot Sauce McDow, and that just not right. The world ABSOLUTELY needs drug dealers with names like that out there slangin heroin. Its just kind of like that necessary evil you know? You need those stereotypes out there or the world stops making sense. I imagine Hot Sauce McDow to look something like the Denzel Washington meme

and I’d be willing to bet he’s the world’s worst drug dealer.

But I’m not one to judge. Like Marie Holmes said “Ya’ll should be worrying about none of ya’lls business. Ya’ll need to be worry about ya’lls own business and not wasting ya’lls time worrying about people ya’ll dont ned to worry about. Ya’ll.
