Times were not easy for Mark, Cindy, and their daughter, Jaiden. Mark had a job at a factory that processed meat for deli goods and hot dogs and as of the moment, he had to be their household’s sole supporter since their income was not coming from two sources anymore. Cindy used to work as an office manager but in 2010, she was made redundant and since then, she’s been on the hunt for a job, without much success. To make matters worse, she wanted to spend more time at home so that she could be around for their young daughter, and opportunities didn’t seem to be looking up. As her expectations weren’t high, she decided to take a wild chance.

The National Powerball Lottery

The national Powerball lottery was announced to have reached a record high for its prize, a whopping $587 million. At that time, in November 2012, the lottery draw was the second highest ever to be declared and in a community like Camden Point, this kind of sum seemed pretty unreal. Even though this jackpot seemed absolutely unattainable, the lottery was anyone’s game wherever in the country they called home. The Hill family wasn’t really counting on anything huge, but the massive lottery jackpot which had been announced was just too tempting for Cindy and she thought she couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
