oh for fuck's sake this guy is an idiot. The moral of the story is, no matter how hard up for a lapdance you are, don't leave half a million dollars in your car when you go to the titty bar.

What kind of criminal breaks into a car, finds half a million, then flings it in a dumpster?!

Moron...simply put.

You don't go around with that much money on your person.

The criminal probably thought that the money was a plant for some drug cartel and it could have been marked, etc.

Ok any dumb asses who win money should give it to me, if he's going to just leave it lying around that is.

The funny thinga bout this is, when you win the lottery, they automatically set you up with a bank account so they can keep track of your spendings better. This guy was probably one of those anti government people whos scared of everything, so he liquidated his account and kept his fortune in ' old faithful (his car) ' for safe keeping. I bet he has a long list of moronic acts on his timeline. I just wish it were people like me winning large sums of money instead, it makes me cry out unfairness....

Christ, I can barely conceptualize what 500000 dollars in cash would look like. This guy would have 5450 c-notes, at the very least. Think about it. That would easily fill a very large bag. I mean, how many 5000-page books do you have? Not very fucking many, because that's a lot of damn paper.

This guy's an idiot of the highest degree. I wouldn't trust Bruce Lee with that kind of cash. Well, maybe Bruce Lee. But still...

Bear in mind that the man won more than 100 million dollars in cash. To him, this is nothing but pocket change we wanted to spend in a casino.

Actualy it was only 245,000 in cash, the other 300,000 was in the form of 3 blank $100,000 cashiers cheques.

But that's still a helluva lot of cash.

As Colonel Olrik. he won $113 million that money he had with him was probably chump change or spending money for the race track he visited.

What really f*in' sucks is that Whittiger was ALREADY a millionaire businessman.

Biggest Lotto in history, and the winner had spend a couple hundred on tickets.

Then, he gives a large percentage to his Church.
And to his children.
And sets up a scholarship for a Christian College.

And the rest is being gambled and spent on strippers...

And here Nit and I were spending $4/week, trying to get a piece of the Lotto... planning to get a new house, pay off our parent's debts, set up scholarships for his sister and my nephews, create business opportunities, travel the world...

It Shudda been OURS!

There there...

*gets HADOKENED from Nitram for his trouble*

Damn, that stings...

Anyway, why would a multi-millionaire bother with the Lotto, unless he just wants to be a royal ass.

He's just greedy. And i can't believe he gave around $10 million to his church. And why was a church man in a strip club?

Because he finally got tired of touching himself at night and was trying to take a stripper home.

I'm sure he was just trying to pay the strippers to go to Church. *snerk*

Ive actually seen around $100,000 in cash sitting on a table. It was when I worked at Great America and you picked up your money for the day in a smallish building in the center of the park. It was stacks of 100's, 20's, 10's, 5's, 1's, 500 dollar quarter banks, etc. Pretty cool.

That irony is worth more than the lotto.

Oh, it just keeps getting better...

Whittaker (spelled *right* this time*) is married. And his story, as told by all three local news stations, goes like this:
Whittaker goes out to the "Pink Pony", a titty bar with 'some friends' about 10ish. Around 12:30, he goes to a hotel to meet 'another friend'. When he comes back about 2ish, he finds the SUV had been broken into.

Now, the back-story. The hotel in question is known to offer hourly rates, if you get my meaning. The current topic around town is how long before his wifey files for divorce.

My friend used to work at PGA, and he mentioned this place. I guess he was lower on the food chain than you, because he didn't pick up the day's cash, he just dropped it off at the end of the night, and it was sealed in deposit bags, so he never got to see the glory of super-duper gobs of cash.

Most I've seen is in the safe at Hollywood Video, but there's only ever about 7000 max, and usually it's quite a bit less.

But still...this lottery guy, even with 300k in cashier's checks, that's two times the amount you saw, in cash, in this guy's car. I'm starting to envy this guy; I wish I could afford to be cataclysmically retarded.

Why would a woman married to a hundred-millionaire ever file for divorce?

EDIT: Especially if she married him before he was rich; there wouldn't have been a pre-nup.
