Marie Holmes Faces Pastor's Lawsuit

After a woman named Marie Holmes won a $188 million Powerball jackpot, she promised to make a large donation to her church. Pastor Kevin Matthews claimed Holmes verbally agreed to give $1.5 million for land and a retreat facility, but she reportedly stopped after donating an initial $700,000. Matthews sued Holmes for $10 million, alleging that her failure to complete the donation caused emotional and mental distress that forced him to take additional medication for anxiety and depression.
