Stacks of US dollars. James Gatzke was struggling with depression, and living off handouts and charity, with only his seven cats for company, when he hit the five million-dollar jackpot in the Illinois state lottery.(AFP/File/Choi Jae-Ku)

Give a bum a dollar, does he buy food, save it for a room for the night? Nah..... he buys a lottery ticket. Too damn bad the "charitble" fool didn't use his dollar to buy a winning ticket for himself, rather than give it to a "needy" derelict asking for handouts.
