    A better outhouse.
    More moonshine than you can dream of.
    And lastly, a double-wide.

    Nobody that plays the lotto should be allowed to win it.

    Chris Shaw — a 29-year-old tattooed father of three who was raised by his grandparents in rural southern Missouri

    aka "Hick"

    Shaw said he had just $28.96 in his bank account and recently bought a 1998 Ford Ranger from a friend who agreed to let him pay off the $1,000 price $100 at a time
    Bet that friend is GUTTED he didn't just do a generous deed and GIVE the poor bloke his old car. What goes around comes around. ;)

    He had 28 quid in his bank account beforehand. I don't have that much. :( I deserve it more!

    He has the look about him of someone that just won't be able to adjust to having so much money.. he'll probably be dead in a few years. But at least he'll die rich, eh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I guarantee that in five years time, he'll be either broke or dead.

    A Missouri man who won a $258 million Powerball jackpot says he hasn't decided yet if he'll quit his job at the convenience store where he bought the winning ticket.

    Doesn't know if he'll quit his job? Nah definitely doesn't deserve it.

    People who don't quit their job after winning a MASSIVE jackpot like that should have the money confiscated.

    Wonder what the missus looks like..

    A slightly more feminine version of himself probably.

    Great story.. I love that he might keep his 3 week job. Now there's loyalty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,287 ✭✭✭davyjose


    Fair Fcuks to him. The guy clearly has no idea how much money $258 million is. He's talking about disneyland and paying his gas bills - he's richer than almost all of the celebrities he watches on tv.

    I agree, it'll be very hard for him to adjust.

    What a great story, at last someone who deserves it wins the lottery.
