In 1996, Denise Rossi was ordered to give up her entire share of lottery winnings by a court based on a Family Code statute that penalizes spouses for falsifying data about assets.

Mrs. Rossi attempted to right off the earnings as a gift from a co-worker. Rossi allegedly took place in a lottery pool where she paid $5 a week along with her other colleagues. She claimed she pulled out before her group won $6.68 million and was given a separate property gift from her co-workers.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard E Denner rejected the appeal and Justice Norman Epstein of Div. Four agreed with the ruling as the argument was not credible. Denise filed for divorce a month after the group won the lottery and she consulted with the state lottery commission how to keep the winnings away from her husband. She used her mother’s address to correspond with lottery officials and neglected to inform her now ex-husband of her newest fortune. (source)

In 1349, Scots saw the merciless plague effecting the English as a revenge from God and sought to invade England as the residents were overwhelmed. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately affected. Nearly 5,000 of them died before they retreated home.

The troops were unaware initially that they took the plague home with them as it seemed to have lied dormant throughout the winter, but by 1350 the disease spread throughout the entire country creating such a horror that parents didn’t visit their dying children and vice-versa. (source)

As a young Marine electronics technician at Camp Lejeune in the mid 704, Ron Poirier estimated that he’d dumped hundreds of gallons of toxic solvents onto the ground, stating that he unknowingly contributed to the worst drinking water contamination in the United States.

The 58 year old veteran told the Associated Press that once he found out he had cancer, he felt like it was a punishment for what he did. Esophageal cancer is one of dozens of diseases and conditions linked to the tainted waters beneath the coastal base between the 1950s and the 1980s. Nearly a million Marines, family members, and civilians have been exposed to these contaminated waters.

Poirier passed away weeks after his interview with the Associated Press. (source)
