CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The daughter of Powerball Jackpot winner Jack Whittaker was found dead in her home over the weekend.

A Raleigh County Sheriff's Deputy tells WSAZ.com they found Ginger Whittaker Bragg in her home along Lake Drive in Daniels around 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

She was just 42 years old.

Ginger's body has been sent to the state medical examiner's office to determine the cause of death. Deputies don't expect foul play.

Bragg's daughter Brandi died of a drug overdose five years ago.

The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous,lets just hope this money finds its way to someone who really needs it and wont abuse wealth or health. And lets pray that her and her daughter had a few minutes to ask God for forgiveness before they passed on.Yes this stuff can happen to anyone but it usually dont come in like the tide that this did, it just sounds too much like a lifetime movie.

It seems pretty obvious that Jack and his family had issues before the lottery win. the celebrity of winning just brought everything out in the open.
