Got to be one of the most misleading headlines I've read recently heh. She didn't win the lottery, she lost all her money gambling. That's really the headline, here, no?

I agree, well what can we expect? News today is more on exaggerated titles and often misleading ones for click-baiting.

I mean, you lose at poker or black jack or roulette, and you don't mention how many rounds you win before eventually busting (you can even win more hands than lose as people like me usually bust when chasing losing streaks).

True, those lottery wins are not worth mentioning( because they aren't a jackpot) at all let alone being a title of news.  It is more fitting to say just the person embezzled money due to gambling addiction.

A brazilian medicine college student diverted almost 200.000$ from the graduation comission's funds, which belonged to her whole class, to place high bets through the national lottery.

She won sometimes on short run, but after all, faced a huge loss and went into almost 40.000$ debt. After scamming the lottery, the police department was triggered and the investigation has started.

She was investigated for money laundering and embezzlement. Later on, it was discovered the funds' origin.

Meanwhile, the class students became suspicious about the situation after the woman told on her class Whatsapp's group funds raised for graduation were lost after she invested it in a brokerage firm and was scammed by it, but no further documents and evidences could be provided, because everything was robbed!

Since then, no more updates about the case have been shared on the news. It happened about 2 weeks ago.

Medical student wins lottery 5 times after embezzling graduation funds

Is this news from the village of fools?  Grin
200 thousand dollars is a serious amount, was there really no control over it? Also, if their class consisted of 30 students, does each of them contribute $6,500? Maybe I didn’t understand something, but isn’t this a huge amount for such an event?

Probably he is holding all the funds for all graduating classes at the university.  I believe it is for graduation thing, so I think there is more than 1 class involved.

If she's old enough which I believe she is, then nothing should stop her from going to jail, she's a criminal and should be treated as one, if it was her money or maybe her school fees she's lost through gambling, then I believe this wouldn't be a case at all, but gambling with public funds is way too extreme and one that must not be swept under the carpet, she should be made to serve as an example to those who might want to try the same thing in the future and hope to get away with it.
200,000 dollars is no small amount of money, and I can't imagine how many of the parents who went through hell to make sure they get this money to pay for their ward, this is an act that shouldnt be encouraged In our society.
I really feel sorry for the school and the students, this would probably be the worst graduation ceremony that school will have in their record, I hope they get through it..
Maybe she’s mature enough seeing how far she have got embezzling all those funds all for her selfish desires. That student must probably be facing gambling addiction and she can’t control anymore her actions and decisions that made this whole mess up. I felt sorry for all her colleagues that they went through all of this because of an irresponsible student. If she can’t be put in jail, then she should be given proper sanction that will leave her a very big lesson not to do the same mistake again.

For an addicted gambler, the temptation to use other people's money is very strong, it started with a small bet then he chases his losses, until he losses the money that is not his, that's what happens to the girl in the article, this is the gravest sin of gamblers, gambling not with his own money, this is one of the reasons why companies do background checking on their employees holding a position about finances in the company to see if he has a gambling addiction.
Who should we trust those money if we don't know who should we trust? It's unfortunate for someone especially when it's a student who are eaten by the addiction of gambling it's like a drugs to them that they never thought they could control in the end. It's always a hard lesson for someone when they were involved in gambling there's always a huge tendency that they can't handle all of those losses since they were trying to chase their losses but they can't beat the system.
She got addicted and their classmates trust her with the funds because for sure she is trustworthy, its just that gambling takes over her. Too bad for a student to experience this and I hope that she can still recover from this and be better. This is a big lesson to her and I’d hope that her family will help her and will not abandon her. This is a reminder that we should gamble only with our own money, don’t be greedy if you can’t afford it.

This is an educational setting issue, the money belong to the class which is part of. And I think she is the class representative so there is a way the school handle such case and not a jail term. The school must have a security post to settle cases like this. The first thing to do is to inform the parents of the girl about the issue, and either the girl pays the money or the parents. And also give her extension of her schooling years as a punishment.

In gambling a gambler should gamble with his own earned money. If one conducts gambling with parents' money or common people's accumulated money, he will certainly face big disaster. Moreover, when a gambler makes a decision to place a large bet with someone else's money, it is considered a suicidal decision. The most appropriate rule is that if a gambler loses money, he is not liable to anyone. Gambling should be done with money that has legal works or earnings to recover.
For an addicted gambler, the temptation to use other people's money is very strong, it started with a small bet then he chases his losses, until he losses the money that is not his, that's what happens to the girl in the article, this is the gravest sin of gamblers, gambling not with his own money, this is one of the reasons why companies do background checking on their employees holding a position about finances in the company to see if he has a gambling addiction.
That's because they don't have money left and then they already sold all their valuable items and have pending loans but their urge to gamble is still there and it became more intense than before so their only hope to gamble again is to steal someone else money. There is no way that an addicted gambler will bet small, more if the money they gamble is not theirs. They will have no fear of losing it and they don't also care if what can happen to them once they get caught out.

For now, what is important for them is to feed their appetite and that is to play gambling. That is how dangerous being addicted to gambling, so it's important to know the signs and prevent it early before it gets worse.

Yes, you are right. I just copied the title of the news, but I guess the main point should be the loss, instead of the temporary winnings.



Video of the woman leaving the police department after statement to the authorities. She will wait for her trial out of custody. Highlight for her facial expression apparently smiling, calm, confident and mocking the situation:

I think she is really in sin, but medical students are really more sensible and calculative to have lowered themselves so badly like she did and gambled with money that was not hers, money that was not even one person's fund. Well, the deal has been done, let her face every penalty that is due for her crime. 

If anyone could remember earlier before now, I once said I had a friend back then in school. This guy was a chronic gambling addict; nothing could stop him; he picked pockets, stole, gambled with his shoe, clothes, phone, and anything within his reach. He was arrested and detained in the cell for months, but each time he is released, he goes back to what he knows how to do. 

A lottery representative attended Deic and said that the woman had been betting every day,
more like an addict 🙄, who knows how many times she was betting each in a day.., maybe countlessly.

Nothing lasts forever

Too little was said about the personality of the woman. It was said she is a very intelligent person, although being private and quiet, doesn't share details of her personal life with classmates.

If she was an intelligent person she wouldn't have gambled her classmates' money at the very first place.
Secondly, she thought she would get away with it just by saying she lost the money.
This makes it easy for us to guess that she was not an intelligent person but an over confident gambling addict.

It's a shame on her that she used her classmates' money to gamble and lost it.
Just think how hard they must be earning the money and paying for the graduation fees.
How can she even think of betraying her classmates and their emotions and especially their studies.
I hope the police takes strict action against her and makes her pay all the funds lost.
She must be imprisoned and pay for her mistakes.
Now imagine such an irresponsible and egoistical person was going to graduate and become a medical to take care of human lives. Imagine the kind of professional she was going to be...

Exactly. She doesn't deserve to get a medical degree. Her nature speaks about herself.
Such a doctor could have a dangerous impact on other people's lives.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.
I think this is a clear case of gambling addiction. Any gambler that goes to the extent of using another people's funds at his/her disposal to gamble needs help because such person has lost control of his gambling behavior.
Yes it is gambling addiction, but as she misappropriated public money, it is indiscipline and an act of theft which can result to jail term. It is truly an addiction but this kind of addiction is stupidity. I have been addicted before, but not with public money. For gambling, gamblers should only gamble with their own money, but like I said before, some go to the extent of using their parents money to gamble, that is stupidity too. Gamblers should always know that the consequences of gambling can be fatal if using high amount of money, gambling should just be for fun.

he has been heavily addicted to gambling because he should only chase victory and leave gambling.
She is definitely addicted to gambling, I don't think someone that's not addicted to gambling will gamble with the money that's not his/her own, I don't think their is any assurance that you are going to win when gambling, when gambling the chances of winning and losing is just 50/50, so why will you use the money that's not your own to do what you are not assured of win. Definitely she have being doing it before and probably she have been winning but she is not lucky this time around. She have to be forced to pay back the money so that she can learn her lesson.

This is just a clear case of gambling addiction. It makes me wonder how they get the boldness or courage to go as far as using other people's money to gamble.
At first I thought it was an acute addiction problem. But looking again at this case that the suspect is a woman, in plain view is the type of gender that is emotionally vulnerable. What's more, he holds that amount of money in his pocket at the peak of the sensation of his game or indeed because it is influenced by the results of previous games.
obviously it is an acute addiction to lottery gambling because as you said someone will become addicted after getting the previous victory and after that experiencing defeat and maybe he will continue to chase his defeat until his money is really gone. Addiction will not be in favor of men or women. If you are addicted to gambling, men and women will get worse and they will do anything to keep betting.
as the topic fills in the OP the lady previously won a few bucks on a lottery bet.

what I think right now, she is a woman who holds a lot of money in her pocket but why did she embezzle the funds in lottery bets? even though women are usually the same as spending money to shop for cosmetic clothes etc., but this woman chooses to bet on the lottery.

She was not satisfied with the amount that she won already, she wanted more that was why she ended up losing everything, i don't know why she have to gamble with the money that belongs to the class, she is definitely addicted to gambling because the person that's not addicted to gambling won't have the courage to gamble with the money that's those not belong to him or her. The funniest part is that she won 5 times but she was not still satisfied, she wanted to win more money.
He is very greedy and does not realize he is using other people's money in his gambling, even though he has won 5 times but he does not stop gambling, even though he can get the winning money for him and return other money to his coffers, he has been heavily addicted to gambling because he should only chase victory and leave gambling.
If I'm not wrong earlier she could've practiced the same and made some money. This time she have gone with the big money which is the bad part. Initially she might have experienced profit, but the greed had made her go for big rolls and the same have caused her loss big. Anyhow she had good learning that we should not use others fund. Everywhere this is the problem same as what happened with FTX

There are many sites on the internet teaching how to win on this lottery, as if it were possible to make it in a safe way. I guess the student must have had access to such websites and thought she could make it work. Tongue
Apparently. You know, that's the point I was about to get to before you took it off me mouth. Those schemes and tricks just never works in casino or lotto gambling. It's a system that is based on luck and nothing else.
My annoyance with the case is, how can you give someone sole authority over a collectively owned funds. I get it she was/is the president of the group but, having to transfer organisation funds to private account, that should have raised a red flag and questions should have been asked then.

The said student is just an opportunist criminal for tampering with people's funds with hopes to profit from it  unauthorised and an addictive gambler for waging such huge amounts. He ain't ain't one bit and even devices a scheme to defend himself without prior informing the group on what's going on.

The goodnews is, the law will always catch up to individuals such as described in OP.
