a lottery winner's lament

Here is a tale of the dangers of obtaining a lot of money at once.
A couple who won a $2.6 million lottery jackpot and spoke of helping young people fight drug addiction and alcohol abuse are facing a lawsuit alleging they held four months of parties with public sex, fights and signs of drug dealing.

The city lawsuit against Elizabeth and Samuel Howard also detailed allegations of an assault on a neighbor, slashed tires and loud music. Samuel Howard, 54, denied the allegations. "I just feel like I'm a victim in the whole situation," he said Friday.

The police have responded to reports of parties 52 times in four months. The couple and their sons have a criminal history of thievery and drug trafficking.
