I first noticed the blog on this subject, so that's where I posted. Just wanted to tell Todd that I didn't know he created that image. Not being technical, it's so good I just assumed it came from a recent news article. So if I ever decide to go back to dating I'll send you a photo and you can touch it up a little for me, okay? 
I never was all that great with graphics, but kinda forced myself to become "OK" with them out of necessity. Web sites start to become boring if the graphics are all the same!

(Sung to the tune of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone")
Where has all the money gone?
No check cashing.
Where has all the money gone?
ATM no more.
Where has all the money gone?
Gone to leeches every one.
When will I ever learn?
When will I ever learn?
Where have all the leeches gone?
Long time sucking.
Where have all the leeches gone?
Dried up the vein.
Where have all the leeches gone?
Gone to lawyers every one.
When will I ever learn?
When will I ever learn?
Where have all the lawyers gone?
Long time sharking.
Where have all the lawyers gone?
Rushing off to court.
Where have all the lawyers gone?
Gone to plaintiffs every one.
When will I ever learn?
When will I ever learn?
Where have all the plaintiffs gone?
Got his money.
Where have all the plaintiffs gone?
They're around no more.
Where have all the plaintiffs gone?
Gone to play the lottery.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
1984 was an instruction manual.

The poor guy lost his hat, his shaver, and some mad artist deleted his wife! I don't believe in hiding from the public and even in the worst of times I don't advocate jumping from bridges (even with a bungee cord I would not) - is Mayor Bloomberg or Bill Gates, or the Soccer player just give a $250M contract, or Howard Stern (just got another 85 million) hiding from the public? They don't have to because they make it known they are hard targets and they don't hang out at the Pony or the Bing. Another thing is if you don't get drunk you are that much more in control of things. Hiding isn't the answer for everyone.

I can think of many examples, but Forrest Gump said it best:
Stupid is as stupid does...
If you are stupid prior to winning the millions, you will not get smarter after the fact. You just have more money to do stupid things with...
See Powerball winner David Edwards for another reference....

Oh- Another thing..
The title of this thread is "un- luckiest lottery winner ever"
Maybe so, but...........
He was very lucky to win the record amount, and his misfortunes have all been
self imposed. He created this pitiful legacy of his- He made his own " bad luck "
