Saw this on the news on yahoo tonight... 20 something y/o clerk at a gas station bought a 5.00 ticket and won the powerball... But what really got my attention was his picture... Big beaming Toothless smile... I had to lol... Especially when he said one of the things he was going to do is go to the dentist...

If someone else has to win my nine-digit lottery jackpot (inconsiderate bastard! ), I'd rather it be a guy who's missing his front teeth and who obviously needs the money, than some well-heeled stockbroker/lawyer /investment banker who lives in Ladue (native-St. Louis speak for "old money"; substitute your own locality's equivalent) who'll probably wind up passing most of it on to her/his grandchildren anyway.

Cheers,

If I ever won that big a prize, there's a lady in Nashville who (I hope) would not see anyone other than me for at least several years.



But I've been less obsessed about quantity than I have been about quality.
