[Gay State Conservative]

Some years ago...IIRC it was in the 90s...Whitey Bulger,gangster,serial killer,psychopath and brother of the most powerful politician in Massachusetts,won a million dollars or more in the Massachusetts state lottery.

The state auditor at the time,a Republican,said that the only thing worse for him would have been if his own mother had won.

It turns out that Bulger had heard of someone in the neighborhood who owned the winning ticket and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
