Sorry for her if she had just won all that money only to die the same day.
WWJ reported she won at the casino, of course their source was probably Fox.
Isnt it amazing how these stories evolve, shows how in the ectronic age the news media is so quick for a scope they cant get the story right.

Maybe she went to danny's and blew it all on strippers?
She was a gambler, maybe she won $10K but spent $43k to win it?

Both stories stink, as in what happnd to the woman and the way it happened seems fishy.

But I'm more inclined to believe WXYZ's story. Besides that, WJBK's finst pulled their story.
