Who is Tonda Dickerson: The Lottery Tip and Legal Battle

• Tonda Dickerson received a $10 million lottery tip.
• Coworkers sued her, but the court ruled in her favor.
• She’s now a poker dealer in Mississippi after an abduction and taxes.

Tonda Dickerson, a former American server, made news in March 1999 when she got a $10 million lottery ticket as a tip from a customer named Edward Seward. Six days later, she realized that the ticket had won the jackpot. However, she was sued by her coworkers for not sharing the lottery win.

Tonda, who formerly worked at Waffle House in Grand Bay, Alabama, was sued by four waitresses who claimed she owed them a share of her winnings. The court found in Tonda’s favor, saying that they had no formal contract.

Furthermore, Edward Seward discovered an arrangement in which Tonda agreed to buy him a new pickup truck if she won the lotto, bolstering her argument. The lawsuit was dismissed before it went to trial.

Tonda’s life was turned upside down when her ex-husband, Stacy Martin, abducted her and threatened her with a handgun. She managed to escape his hands, shooting him in the process, after a terrifying ordeal. She was eventually compelled to pay $1 million in taxes on her winnings, but she kept the majority of them.

Tonda Dickerson’s narrative continues to intrigue her, despite her removal from Wikipedia. She is currently working as a poker dealer at Gold Nugget Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
