Hollywood's latest financier: the Lottery
 
Jackpot winner antes up $30M for film production:

Hollywood's Latest Financier: the Lottery | The Wrap

"The latest film fund, $30 million to make romantic comedies, thrillers and faith-based dramas, comes from the lottery winnings of Cynthia Stafford, a single Hawthorne homemaker who shared a $67 million jackpot with her father and brother in 2007.

Now she wants to make movies."

Come to think of it, that's probably what I would have done...

That's a good way to lose $30,000,000. Hope she was smart about it.

Matt Buys December 3rd, 2009 08:26 PM

I love it. Only in America. And only in Hollywood.

Who knows. There may even be a tax advantage she can make use of.

Her first madcap screwball comedy title can be “Riches to Rags.”

Someone should tell her:

Never ... ever ... with your OWN money.

Lottery money is paying for an educational film about the Niobrara River in Nebraska. It comes my way via a river-hugging group, The Friends of the Niobrara and Nebraska Games and Parks Commission. It is just like winning the lottery, almost a license to break even.
