Millionaire Senator Wins $850K in Lottery

From the Associated Press but pulled off from this site.

CONCORD, N.H.

Millionaire Sen. Judd Gregg announced Thursday that he won $853,492 in the Powerball lottery.

The 58-year-old Republican was one of 47 Powerball players who correctly picked five of the winning numbers but not the bonus digit that would have qualified them for the $340 million jackpot _ the second-richest prize in U.S. lottery history.

The only jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Jacksonville, Ore. The holder of the ticket did not immediately step forward.

I'm sorry but where is the justice in that. I like to think that God has a sence of humor but this is getting to be rediculus.

Oh, you should see what the guy is going to do with the money. Not only is the Senator already a millionaire, but he's announced he's going to use the money to renovate his house.

Now there's public service.
