Thanks!
There are some really decent people here that aren’t what we’d call “well groomed”.
Perhaps I’m lost in the past, but folks like this guy were the norm not so many years ago.
LOL! Is it me, or does that guy look terrifed, or maybe just suprised, that a woman like that is stroking his man boobs.
And around here, there are many good people who would never consider accepting charity to have their teeth replaced.
Times are changing here as well and it's a shame to see.
“$28.96 in his bank account and a stack of utility bills”
How much do you want to bet that in 5 years his bank account is just as poor and his stack of bills is even bigger?

I am truly amazed at your clairvoyance. Tell me, do you judge all strangers who you have never met in such a negative way?
Here in Iowa, where the Powerball lottery is headquartered, a clerk checks a ticket for wining numbers by running it through the lottery machine. The machine makes noise and a voice let’s out a “YooHoo!” if the ticket is a winner (even $2)
In order to scam the system, the clerk would have to use sleight of hand to run a non-winning ticket through the machine while the customer is standing there.
A lot of the lottery players at the tobacco shop near my home aren't exactly the internet or newspaper types. You'd be amazed at the number that come in to have the clerk "check" their ticket. I suspect that with a huge jackpot that is widely publicized before hand a lot of people that aren't regular players will buy a ticket and assume they need to have it validated at the source.
I would go with bar fight.
I can go along with Dianna Ross - not “pretty” without the make up but natural enough.
Madonna - Didn’t realize she’d had cheek implants. No other explanation for that. I think the doc overdid it a bit. Perhaps a chin implant too?? She needs some blowfish lips to keep up with her cheeks and chin.
This would be a good reason for having those automatic ticket readers in every place that sells those tickets — so you just put it under the scanner and it says if you’re a winner or not — no human intervention required ... :-)
I don’t know about your state, but I’ve seen them in other places before and that’s the way to go, I would say. It only takes a mere few seconds and you’ve got a “read” on the ticket and you know whether it’s a winner or not...
To me it’s a curious social phenomenon to observe...watching a lot of the same people come in every morning to buy a string of tickets while I get my coffee and breakfast. Most of the time I’ve noticed the clerk will return the non-winning ticket to the patron.
I think they are scarier looking than the lottery winner.
Wow....Diana Ross is turning into looter guy...
You guys are CLEARLY smarter than Texas. Good for you.
My guess is that he rear-ended somebody at a fairly low speed, and knocked them out on his own steering wheel.
“We’re sorry sir, but your ticket was misplaced and we cannot verify it as a winning ticket. Should it be found in the future we will contact you. If you wish we will provide you with another ticket at no cost to you.
Who knows? It may be the big winner! Best wishes.
Yours, State Lottery Commission”
