This guy from Missouri won the Powerball jackpot the other night:
I'm guessing all that money is going to buy him a sweet double wide, a kick ass 4 wheel drive pick up truck, untold kegs of Miller Lite, and a shitload of lap dances. And then in a few years when he's blown through all that cash, he'll go back to his old job at the convenience store.
Oy, what I could have done with all that money. Oh hang on a sec, the Mega Millions is up to $166 million, so maybe when I win that one on Friday night some asshole blogger can make fun of my looks and the fact that I currently live in Tennessee. And I'll be all pissed off about it on my way to buying the bank, then when I move into my mansion on the NC coast, I'll be all forgiving and shit.

You can't win Mega Millions. The S.O. and I have already have dibs on this week's jackpot. And we're not going to settle for a mere double-wide; we'll go for the triple.
Oh boy...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that his first purchase will be some teeth!
Or, at least some Chicklets to stick up in there...

Let me know if you need a personal assistant!
Doc, you gots to share with the budz, amiright?

One of the things I plan to do when I hit it big in Lotto is just keep showing up to work. Whenever anybody asked me to do any work at all, I would just respond "I would love to, but you see, I'm a Lottery winner".
Just as a test for how long it would take them to walk me out the door.
Maybe he oughta buy himself a new set of wooden front teeth.
If he didn't look fairly healthy otherwise, I'd be thinking meth mouth, which would suggest he's going to burn through that jackpot even faster than the average lottery winner.
He did say he was going to pay off his bills, take the kids to Disney World and maybe get some dental work.
They say money won't buy you happiness, but damn I'd sure like to try. I hear you can rent it for awhile!!
Dr. Monkey just a reminder that I used to be a tax attorney. Just saying.
There was a guy in Canada years ago who won some big-assed jackpot who looked a lot like this. Within 3 years or something he'd blown through that entire 40 million. He'd bought and wrecked a bunch of cars; bought cars for all his friends; partied his face off; bought a couple of houses that burned down or something. He ended up with nothing and then committed suicide.
