Rancher Wins $232 Million in Lottery

PIERRE, S.D. (June 5) - A 23-year-old rancher whose family has fallen behind in their taxes and recently had a mobile home repossessed claimed a $232.1 million Powerball jackpot on Friday, one of the largest undivided jackpots in U.S. lottery history.
Whole story.

But my favorite part of the article:

Quote:
Dave Assman, who owns farmland next to the Wanless' ranch, said he's happy they won't have to worry about money again.

"They've been real short on finances for a long time," Assman said. "They are from real meager means, I guess you'd say."

The little boy whose father attacked him has regained sight in the injured eye. A local charity has set up a trust fund in his name.

Just think how happy 232 million destitute people in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh would be to win $1 each!

Just imagine how happy 148,013.933725 people would be to win $1,567.42 each instead.

Horny rhino Jango has become a real art lover - after falling for a car dumped in a pond as a sculpture exhibit.
Zoo bosses put the motor in his enclosure as a way of raising awareness about pollution’s impact on animals in the wild but smitten Jango took a shine to the old banger and now treats it like a mate.
Zoo visitor David Rogers said: "He was in the pond for an hour and he kept giving the car affectionate nibbles."
