I'd Rather Be The Guy Who Was Murdered After Winning The Lottery Than The Woman Who Won The Lottery But Put Her Winning Ticket Through The Wash And Can't Collect Her Winnings
WLS – A family in Fizgerald, Georgia says their relative was gunned down in a home invasion because he recently won the lottery. Craigory Burch Jr.’s family and friends say it was a targeted attack after Burch won $434,272 in the lottery. Hendricks says she’s sure they were after some of the $400,000 he had won. She said, “Ever since he hit the lottery we kept getting calls, text messages, all that, saying, ‘Be careful because people are out for him to rob him’.”
So there is story numero uno. Your classic man wins the lottery, gets shot and killed in his home story. Sad, tragic, thoughts and prayers. But doesn’t seem all that bad when you read story numero two:
IT - A woman has claimed she has the missing £33 million winning lottery ticket in the UK but put it through the wash. She came forward after Camelot announced the winning numbers had been selected in Worcester and told residents to “check down the side of sofas”. The woman, who refused to be named, claims the paper slip went through the washing machine in the pocket of a pair of jeans. She presented the tattered remains to Ambleside News on Friday, where she said she bought it. The woman told The Times: “I’ve been a nervous wreck. I haven’t slept all night. Since I found it in my jeans pocket, my daughter and I have been drying it out with the hairdryer.
No obviously you don’t want either of these things to happen. You don’t want to get murdered, and you don’t want to put your 33 million dollar lotto tick through the laundry. But if I had to choose one, just kill me. There is no coming back from having 33 million dollars in your hand and then washing it away with your socks. She thinks she had one bad night of sleep? Wait until the next time she’s had a bad day of work, gets home and the toilet has leaked all over the place, her shit head kid is asking for money to buy some shit head kid thing, she’s going to go postal just thinking about how much better life could have been. Imagine having to go to bed poor every night and waking up to your cube job job every day, fully knowing if you weren’t so dumb you would have 33 million dollars. If only she would have checked those pants pockets one last time before ruining the rest of her life. So basically she’s dead anyway, at least the person who got murdered has a family who can use the money. Better than having no money and a life of regret, 100%.
