Tonda Dickerson

In 1999, a waitress named Tonda Dickerson was tipped a lottery ticket, which later won the $10 million jackpot. She was then sued by her colleagues for their share. She was also sued by the man who tipped her the ticket demanding a truck. She was also kidnapped by her ex husband, whom she had to shoot him in the chest. Then she went to court against the IRS, who demanded $1 million in "gift taxes", on top of hefty income taxed.
