| I saw an excerpt of the press conference this morning... he says he'll invest wisely/pay off the debts/that kind of sensible stuff...boring! OTOH, his wife says she will shop till she drops. Maybe the GS closest to them should go a-courting! She could brag to her friends about her "engineer toy-boy". Could be worse...could be HIM!! Just smile sweetly...and think of the gear. Cheers, Tim

| It seems obvious here. Unattractive people of merely average intelligence, especially those over 50, should not be allowed to have extraordinary things happen to them. We should make fun of them, instead of being happy for them, because they are so uncool, Don't you think?

| YOu know, I read the article in the paper 'Retired", not ********... Anyway, What's not to like - he's gonna keep living the way he's been living, his wife's going to 'shop til I drop'. All of this works for me. After all, as close as I can tell, if I won $239 Million, I'd pretty much keep working in the music bidness until it was all gone. |

| You're killing me. "Truck driver wins millions, here's his address and phone number." I can imagine quite a few Steve Martin in The Jerk type scenarios going down... |

| hey, if any of y'all are psychic or have a connect to the california lottery commission, i'll settle for five out of the next six lotto numbers. what would a girl like me (i.e. one that hangs out with gearsluts online) do with millions anyway? sounds like a lot of hiding from the lotto-dreaming posted above.
