"The
Poker Queen"
Lady
gamblers were rare in the Old West and lady dealers
were even more rare but that is what Lottie was. She
was given the nickname "Lotsa Dinero" because
of her ability to win.
She was cultured, attractive and very proper in her
dress. Some say she was immortalized in the T.V. show
Gunsmoke as Miss Kitty. Men just loved to lose their
hard-earned money to the beautiful Lottie.
Some have linked her to Doc Holliday when he was on
the run and landed in Jacksboro, Texas in the 1870's.
Late in life Lottie formed "The Golden Gossip Club"
in 1912. This group survives today and meets weekly
in Deming, New Mexico.
