NEW YORK, N.Y. - With just 78 cents in his savings account and $44,000 owed to creditors, parking attendant Juan Rodrigues plunked down $1 on a lottery ticket. Good thing he wasn't pinching pennies: He won a $149 million lottery jackpot.

The ODD thing is, it DOESN'T ALWAYS work out quite that way...it's just nice though that in SOME instances it does! (Link courtesy Cleveland PLAIN DEALER) (http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/110129942689010.xml)

Usually, if it's not a bloke like THIS, or the gal in California...that was just about to be put outta her motel quarters when SHE hit it big....

It's that nightclub owner fella (In Texas, I think) that ALREADY was set for life with his income....and the wastrel to this very day runs around with his winnings in briefcases & gets 'em ripped off from his trucks & stuff. :|

I wish THIS winner well.....kinda....but I ALSO wish that MY ship'd one day come in, too! ;)
