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.

But it doesn’t stop there. The entitlement only gets worse.
Now, the employee is claiming wrongful termination on the grounds of financial discrimination. Girl, be serious. You didn’t get fired for having money; you got fired for being insufferable. And the boss has receipts to prove it.
Keep scrolling for the full story and stick around until the end so you don’t miss the best reactions from people in the comments who had no problem calling her out.
