... but this is just greedy.

DV's post inspired an immediate follow up for me, for our final blog of the month. Ah... Next month will be a particularly difficult month as I am on holiday for a week in rainy Scotland watching Rugby and D is going to gamble with his life in the seedy sex and drug dens of the far east.

Anyway, the story. One that'll make you sick. There are plenty of poor, hard working *ahem* nice guys like us in the world who are worthy of a great lottery win. Unfortunately, because of it's stupid random nature, sometimes unworthy people win. I don't mean stupid the violent chavs / rednecks who just waste their money on tacky crap and anti-social behaviour. No, that's fine. At least they are having fun. This is much worse. I just read a story about an elderly couple in Florida who won $5m dollars on the lottery. Eugene Angelo (81) and his wife are the lucky couple. It is bad enough that 2 decrepit old codgers who can probably barely open themselves a beer let alone enjoy a piss in their gold toilet, after drinking half the contents of their beer filled swimming pool won the jackpot, but it gets worse.

They had already won millions on the lottery in 1996!
