The regular Joe became a household name the next day when news of his big win spread. He told 5NEWS he planned to buy a house for his family.

Upon winning $100k?

While I certainly wouldn't be upset to scratch off $100,000, that amount of money is hardly a life-changing event. It's not like you can tell your boss to go to hell or anything.

For the typical RAT voter in that part of the country it *would* be life changing.And I could be wrong but I think that $100K can buy a half decent piece of residential real estate in many parts of AR,TN,LA,etc...whereas,you can't buy a closet for that sum on the coasts.
