Employee wins lottery and starts bragging at work, boss fires her after complaints of shaming coworkers' finances: 'She [made] comments about other employees' lunches being cheap'

Winning the lottery on a scratch-off ticket is something most of us only dream about. Imagine spending five dollars and suddenly having enough money to pay off your debt and take that long-awaited dream vacation. But if there's one thing life has taught us, it's that money can change people. And not always for the better.

One employee got lucky with a scratch-off win and couldn't wait to share the news with her coworkers. At first, everyone was excited for her, but then things started to get weird. The sudden increase in net worth seemed to go straight to her head. She started showing up to work with designer bags and even worse, shaming her coworkers for their "cheap" lunches. Her boss finally had enough when the receptionist burst into tears after the lotto winner advised the receptionist, and single mother, to make better life choices.
