Toothless Checkout Clerk Wins $258 Million Powerball Jackpot

you can all laugh about his jacked up teeth or that maybe he's a meth head
BOTTOM LINE IS He's laughing all the way to the bank
 
Sure buys it for me.

All the supermodels and cocaine I could ever want? Yeah, color me happy.
 
Cash option, minus taxes, drops it to about 1/3....more than enough. I hope the first thing he does is hire an honest investment firm to invest most of it for him.

Naturally, he says in the article that he's not sure if he'll quit his job, lol. It sounds like such a fulfilling 'career'... :rolleyes:

Is that some sort of requirement when when winning the lottery, to say that you won't quit your low paying, low status, mind numbingly tedious and repetitive job?

yup, in the fine print

:lol:

I don't know if he is but I'm almost guaranteed that money will be pissed away on frivolous things like flashy cars, homes and other bs.
Not to mention what he'll probably give his friends and family.

Makes me wish we were related. :doh

The history of many lotto winners is that within 5 years they are back to where they started.

What do you all think of Fox's headliner? Pretty unclassy of them to include his dental status in their headline, I thought.

Agreed, but it does catch your attention. :roll:

If he takes home 70 million, it will be a LONG time before he can spend that down so much that he needs to worry...

Hey just dun did some more thunking and since NBC has SNL why don't we start a Friday Night Live (FNL ) group here where nothing with seriouscity would be allowed ?

OH well we could have a trademark battle becasue I think the FNL or FLN is a Belgian weapons manufacturer.

LOL, pretty tacky title by Fox News. I hate to say it, but his dental problems strongly suggest a history of meth abuse...

Or a history of being reliant on a public dental system (Britain anyone?). :2razz:
 
Have all these people who are envisioning this guy spending his money in a way that most adults would find sensible realized that this is a person who has 3 kids and $28 dollars in their bank account? A few hundred million dollars doesn't this guy some sort of success story. Just makes him a failure with a lot of money to waste.

You all are cold making fun of this man. This man may have not ever did drugs in his life or anything else. Be happy for him and be happy he can get his mouth fixed.

Why hate on this guy? I am happy he won and hope he spends his money in a wise fashion.

Yep. It kind of shows what sort of character these posters have to pass judgment on someone they have absolutely no personal knowledge of, based on one unflattering photo and a loaded headline from the most biased media source on the planet. Funny thing is, these are the very same ones that are the first to cry "class envy" on regular basis. Methinks it just chaps their asses that it wasn't them. Good for him, I hope he uses his winnings wisely.
 
Unclassy of FOX? When did the media ever act "classy?" :shrug: Honestly, you guys are all speculating and making jokes at this guy's expense and in the same breath busting on FOX for saying he's toothless. I don't really care if people make snark comments, I just find it a bit hypocritical.

I really don't think states should be in the lottery business.

It is rather odd to make that remark in a headline. Do they also make comments about other people's body status in other headlines too?

By the looks in the picture he really isn't toothless either. Perhaps the staff on FOX is back on meth again themselves.
