Why is it that 9 people out of 10 who win the Powerball lottery are already rich and 9 people out of 10 who win the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes are tinker-teethed Rednecks?

Because you have to leave your house and make it to civilization in order to play powerball. You can enter the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes from the comfort of your trailer.

I'd spank you, but you're a closet hussy and it'd do no good. >:)

I just want a chance to prove that winning the lotto won't change my docile, sweet, complacent nature.

I loved seeing that guy in a big-ass texan hat talking about how he was going to give some to his church. Completely didn't look like a guy who needed it.

Interestingly, not long after they arrested 'em for speeding and drunk driving. Discovered $100,000 on him and a pistol in his boot or something. I dunno, something like that. It was a little fucked up. :D

I'd be a bit more accurate with this story if I had the article again, but blah...

He just lost his granddaughter. Someone murdered her and then wanted money cause they said they found her dead. Too much.
I feel sorry for him, kinda, cause he just doesn't get that the reason those people are hanging out with him, is because he is so generous.

Was it this guy (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,108990,00.html)? Jack Whittaker (http://www.wheresmypants.net/jackpot.htm)?

I'm obviously going for the wrong jackpot... where did I put that envelope?
