After winning a whopping $337 million, Donald Lawson might seem like something of a catch, but take a closer look at the Powerball Lottery winner from Michigan and most women might think twice before going on a date with him.
The self-confessed 'hillbilly' is single and looking for love on the Internet with the nickname 'Dinodadog' and the promise to 'please a women any way she wants'.
On dating websites he claims he is 'stocky' and is seeking a woman who is: 'Big and beautiful, Curvy, Full-figured, Heavyset, A few extra pounds'.
But his own personality might hold him back, given that his favourite films are 'any pornos.'
Mr Lawson scooped $337m on the Michigan Powerball last month and vowed that it would not change him — which is bad news for any potential date out there.
He also promised to keep going to his beloved McDonald's and that will continue to live a 'simple life' even if he is travelling around the world.
In the meantime, on his profile on Match.com the father-of-two describes himself as: 'Tall mexican who loves yo (sic) women to have a good time with me anything they want Im (sic) up for it so try me.
'You never know what we can do what else I like to please a women any way she wants and thats (sic) all that matters what she wants she gets'.
Future dates can look forward to the Mark Twain-reading man who is interested in 'exploring new areas', along with video games, cooking, camping, fishing, hunting and, rather improbably, performing arts.
He admits to never exercising but is an animal lover who has cats, dogs, fish and horses.
Under sports, Mr Lawson says he likes motorcross, bowling, and weights and claims to be a college graduate.
For fun he lists: 'Well just about anything' although he is a religious man who is Catholic.
Some of his claims are rather more lurid and on MySpace too he lists his interests as 'Oral' (sex).
Under body type he writes: '6' 2" / More to love!', his favourite music is classic rock and his heroes are Jesus.
His income of $100,000 to $150,000 will need updating thanks to his newfound wealth, although at the time it is hard to believe he was earning so much.
But on Match.com he seems keen for a woman to be earning more than him - he lists his income as $50,000 but says he wants his partner to be earning up to $100,000.
Mr Lawson states that he is divorced and that he is a 'proud parent' with two daughters who live away from him.
Among those who could already be the subject of his affections are a Bulgarian girl called Bilqna Aleksova in her 20s who lives in the capital Sofia.
Pictures she has posted on Facebook show her posing in wraparound shades and a pink dress which leaves little to the imagination.
She and Mr Lawson recently became Facebook friends, after his lottery win.
Another person who has recently come into Mr Lawson's life is Cousin Cassie, a blonde wrestler with the all-female wrestling team Wrestlicious.
In one video posted on YouTube the leery announcer calls her a 'petit farmgirl' who viewers would like to 'warm up on a cold night'.
She too became Facebook friends with Mr Lawson after his win.
Pictures on Facebook also show a very different image than the short haired, shaven man who appeared before the public to announce his prize.
In one he appears significantly more overweight and his hair is far longer and unkempt.
Mr Lawson's ex-wife is thought to have remarried in 2010 and pictures on her Facebook page show her curled up with her new husband.
It is unclear how she reacted when told the news — but appears to be Facebook friends with him.
Neighbours of Mr Lawson's $110,000 home in Lapeer, Michigan, said that he was 'living it up' since he claimed the prize.
A woman who declined to be named said: He's gone away, he's taken his whole family with him. He's gone on holiday like he said he would'.
An elderly male neighbour said that he knew Mr Lawson well but that he did not want to talk about him.
He said: 'He's doing what he's supposed to be doing — he's living it up. He's in and out, so I don't see him that much.
'Some days he is there, some days he isn't so I don't know what he's up to. He's keeping his head down, I can't talk about it because he doesn't want people knowing his business'.

LOL, I knew it - he's gonna have women flockin' to him now.
After reading the press conference when he won, I thought he seemed like a great guy that would do the right thing with his money. After reading this, I feel like it's going to dwindle rather quickly. I hope I am making a false judgement, but he seems like a doof.
fool is as fool does ......
$2 sez he gonna wind up dead broke and or like shakesphere b4 the comming year is up
If he could dwindle his weight down another 100 pounds, that would be a good thing.
Well, I guess he gets bonus points for being fully honest. But really, I didn't need to know all I discovered in that article. Ick.
Too much information on someones sick sexual preferences. Isn't there a more appropriate forum for this useless information?
And the trouble is just beginning
Yea, this guy is in trouble, and this is how it starts.
Its sad to me what passes as "news worthy" in this day and age. Just because he won some money now he's fair game to be discted under the media microscope? If he was still a nobody would anyone care about this?? Anonymity is definitely the way to go when you hit the big one...
I am shocked and appalled at this lewd and wanton display of lasciviousness!
In fact, I would like to tell Cousin Cassie in person just how naughty she is!
Jack, Jack Whittaker Jr. is that you>>>???
Move over Jack Whittaker and David Edwards,you have company!I smell a new episode of "How the Lottery Ruined My Life".
wow! he is asking for trouble, hope he don't get into any trouble. He needs to lay low and watch what he saying. I hope he will spend it wisely. Wish he would help me out with 50,000 dollars, get me out of Bankruptcy. But I know he don't get on here, I don't blame him, if I had that much money, I would be long gone and living it up. Just hope my lucky ticket will come threw for me soon.
Dont think so....... Donald dosnt look like a "doper"
WAIT..... isn't bankruptcy, and paying it back with someone else's money kinda the same thing??
LMAO, all you idiots were kissing this guy's butt and calling him great and I called him out from the beginning for what he was, a <snip> and an idiot. Some of you really need to take profiling classes or something on how to read people because it was obvious from this guy's appearance and his press conference what type of person he is.
He will be dead or broke within 5 years, guaranteed. Really a shame when imbeciles like him are the ones that win millions of dollars.
Aw,lightin' up.It's guys like him that provide entertainment for the rest of us.
Ding Cuckoo ................
TMI
and people think that I am daft for wanting a Bentley?!
BUT! .......... he does look like a DOPE!
A big guy likes big women, I'm shocked....
I wouldn't be that honest if it was me in the spotlight, but it is nice he's not editing himself. The one in the pick dress was showing off what she has, obvious what she's after. +1 to the test of you 5 years dead,broke, maybe jail.
He'll be broke in a few years.
Mr. Lawson might not be a dope but a Pretty girl that does all the right things and flatters you can turn your head around quick! Isn't that Cousin Cassie from Wrestling show of the teenage Powerball winner from SC? I wonder if he still has his money....Maybe he should talk to some other "former" lottery winners. Hope this guy smartens up and disapears.
This is a train wreck waiting to happen...
Wrestlicious was founded by Jonathan Vargas, who won Powerball back in 2008. That means Cousin Cassie knows not one but two Powerball winners. Small world? Or maybe she just likes meeting Powerball winners?
Not small enough 'cause I don't know any lottery jackpot winners, PowerBall, MegaMillions or any others.
I could care less what this guy does with his money. He won it so it is his to do what he pleases. The only thing I suggest is use common sense when spending your fortune and have a little fun with your money. But too much information on his private life for my tastes.-weshar75
I don't understand this "article" at all, seems like you have something against this guy or something. Why all the insults? And posting all that personal information? Was that really necessary? This is precisely why lotto winners want to remain anonymous, articles like this. Come on man.
At least he is not a felon.... (that we know of)
Men are the same world over. In cultures that permit polygamy Mr Lawson would've got himself a few spring chicken.
Over here since he lacks that option then he is looking to date a few spring chicken. He should consider a vasectomy
because these spring chicken are in need of forever money supply and will use anything to get it. True story.
I wonder if he plans to eat them all?
What an a$shole this guy is.....trolling the internet for a piece of a$$ with 337 mil.That's the best thing he could do???
Like rodney dangerfield said once.."now I know why some wild animals eat their young"
Don't laugh to hard, he looks to have a veracious appetite.
Another benefit of eating them all, is no evidence remaining to trace this back to him.
Bon Appetit!
Probably just Cousin Cassie.
You and Cousin Cassie lol
*facepalm*
Yeah, talk about a lack of imagination???
....337 mil and a dude that looks like that has peril written all over it....call me crazy
..my favorite line here..
"..But his own personality might hold him back, given that his favourite films are 'any pornos.'"
yeah..that's always an admirable quality to land some trim
CONGRAT's>>>>>>>>>>>DON:

Hi Jakpot,
I feel the same way you do after reading this article. What an invasion of privacy!!
The media snooping around looking for him on match.com?
I'm sorry LP posted this.
I sure was interested to read it though, and there in lies the problem..
I agree Masone. People are being rough on the guy.
Everyone's predicting he'll be broke but if he invests the money and lives off the interest he'd have about $3M/yr to blow on pretty girls without touching the principal.
We all play the lottery for "our" reasons. Let the man live "his" dream! You can't spend it when your dead anyway! Spend it all if you want man!
Perhaps this article was written to present another person who claims to be a christian, yet displays the opposite in most ways. One without interest in changing, and doesn't care if his children and their peers know [via his postings in at least two public social media sites].
I knew it. I see this moron naked from the waist down in the back of a police car before the end of the year, with half his money sponsoring a donkey show in Bulgaria. I can't wait to see the Dr. Phil intervention special.
Hey McGinn, turns out I wasn't that far off about how this was gonna turn out, huh, pal??
p.s. As the new president of the Cassie fan club I'll be in charge of collecting dues. RdgRnr is Secretary.
I feel that is is very irresponsible for the media to expose a person in this manner whom is not a celebrity.
he now has a even bigger target on him because of the media, what happen to social responsibility and privacy?
He went pubic with his win and that should be the end of the story unless he choose to do interview and put this info out there.
But for the media to search for dirt to make a story is too much, posting his family and telling world all the personal information I can not understand....
Yeah with such precise predictions, you've most assuredly have won a jackpot several times over by now.
Congratatulations Mr. President!
And re-posting this tasteless garbage here on LP is really going to make him just a bigger target.
Glad to know someones watching our back here.
First off he doesn't look Mexican and neither does his name. Looks like all the gold digger sharks smell the chum in the water. he should be smart enough to know that if didn't win that money these type of women pictured wouldn't give him the time of day. and looking for love online with 337 mil.c'mon!he's just asking to get taken advantage of. I don't fell sorry for what's about to happen,he asked for it.,
What "peronal information"
If you don't want certain information about you to be known don't put your
sexual preferences on a dating site! None of the information on those sites are private.
You think that his profile is the only one like that? NO!! There are plenty of dating profiles
from both male and female with all their business out there for all to see, but none of them
won the lottery.
Don't want your personal business out there, get off FaceBook, Myspace and Match.com!!!
You can't be on those sites and at the same time expect privacy.
Cool vid hearsetrax, you also aggregately violate the rules and have someone report you. lol. lol.
This will create a permanent disabling of the account.
Somehow I dont thing "Donald" is looking for privacy.
What vid.
We need "targets" like Donald to keep the rest of us safe when we win the jackpot.
Ask hearsetrax, he deleted it.....
Yeah. maybe he will show up in a club with a few $100 K in hand.
Good point Ronnie, then let's keep a steady stream of the useless tasteless stories coming!
I like the personal interest stories..... Its not the reporters fault the guy is "useless and tasteless" lol. lol.
So lucky... He can have everything. House, Cars, Vacation, Lots of Money, Friends and a partner, only he needs to find the perfect for him. Congratulations Mr. Lawson.
Im sure it will be "true love" when he finds it.
And by all means, let's make sure all those warm and fuzzy happy ending stories, never make it to press.
Who wants to hear about any good news? Give us our Dirty Laundry! (Credit: Don Henley).
We need a full-depth interview and pictorial with Cousin Cassie to get to the bottom of this lottery controversy.
And if it's not possible to get that, then, well, just the pictorial.
Yep, and I predict you'll be the star of a donkey show in Bulgaria.
You took the words out of my mouth Mr. Smith! The man is not a celebrity. We all have vulgar match.com pages right? but we're not famous so who cares.
Besides, Jay-Z says we men do what we do to make money in order to get the girl. This guy is no different from any of us. If I were rich and handsome, I'd definetly try to get laid (Tiger Woods ya'll) by chicks who would never give me a second look.
BTW, I can't stand the media. They create problems for people and then when they are accused of blowing things out of proportion they say "who me? I was only reporting".
More reason to let people remain anonamous after winning these jackpots.
Well Venom, I believe all of us, myself included, felt that based on how he conducted himself at the press conference, our assessment was reasonable. I think he did a very good job at the press conference. He did not speak about expensive cars, etc. I am not sure what you know about "profiling." My experience has been, especially with people who buy my art work, that the ones who tend to be very casually dressed (or even sloppily dressed) end up writing the biggest checks to me. I never judge a book by its cover. There was a great book out a good 15 years ago called something like the "Millionare next door"....this person drove an older model car and did not stand out in any way to draw attention.
I think this does show how perhaps someone, even with the best of original intentions, can go crazy with the money and change.

No, golfer1960, I sure don't and wouldn't! There are several more people who also have refrained.
And the hits just keep on coming.
Yea, this guy has bad judgement. He had to pick the chick from Sweden instead. Or from Brazil. Or move to Brazil and bring one from Sweden.
Anything this guy does will be a bad jusgement by default.
But of course, we all know that we would do the same. Please don't show me your facebook profiles to prove me wrong.
Ick. Just ick.
That pretty much sums it up Piaceri.
Hi Guys
I think all this is just a farce and he's having a blast doing it. With that kind of cash he does not need
to care what others think. My bet is that all this is just show and I could see where I might try something
similar if I won a JP like that. A bit strange but at the same time makes a very good smoke screen to
keep people away. So many people want to pry into a winners business that I would most likely do the
same thing. It seems this is the year for hillbillies to win some major JP's so maybe I got a chance.
Best to him and all his fetishes, real or not.
RL
.
rr
I agree.
rl
Hillbillies are a real lucky bunch!
Perhaps a National Hillbilly day is in order???
As long as we make it a National Two-Headed Hillbilly Day!
I was afraid to comment on the Hillbilly with the extra head........ but sure..........
Two heads are better than one....... I think???
mcginnin56
My grand dad use to tell me a story about a city slicker that once moved into the hills and started
a country store, the guy claimed he would get rich off those stupid hillbillies. Six months later he
had to borrow money to go back home. These people might look a little strange but most of them
are Perty savvy. Also don't wonder too far off the road when in the hills with that kind of attitude.
Hillbillies don't care much for the fancy stuff, they like to live free and don't like others poking in
where they don't belong. Most of them can shoot with the best and have been totin' a gun around
ever since they were big enough keep both ends off the ground. I got my first rifle when I was Six.
Just saying.
RL
Yup, I watched "Deliverance", and maintain a healthy respect for all Hillbilly's to this day.
BTW, I got my first rifle when I was seven.
Yeah mcginnin56, just keep it on the road unless you want pig squeelin lessons.. Just sayin.....
Is the phrase "just saying...." a Hillbilly phrase? Just saying......
Mine was a model 15 springfield 22 bolt action single shot, got it seond hand for $6.00 and a bluetick pup.
Use to go quail hunting with it using 22 shorts.
RL
Nice piece of hardware for $6.
Mine was a 22 that held about 18 rounds that my gran paw said "go shoot"
I still have it but it's a bit rusty, It came with no buleing.
RL
My first "rifle" was a 1962 Daisy B.B. gun, a replica of the famous 1894 Winchester rifle.
Used it for squirrel hunting and target practice.
Ronnie316
You should not believe everything you watch on TV. I never seen anything ever like that in all my days
in the hills. Pigs were used for meat and to mask the smell of moonshine. My family was in the lumber
business and would hide the kegs of sour mash in the sawdust pile which helped it to ferment. Then the
mash was hauled off to the stills hidden somewhere in the hills. All the old timers would not cotton to
anything like that except to put a bullet in it. Deliverance was about a psychotic bunch of people most
likely city slickers who were outcast and wound up nesting in the hills.
RL
People have different tastes. Some guys are into chicks with piercings on some ungodly spot and nasty tattoos. I am glad that I am not one of those guys. This lottery winner has some poor taste and judgment in women, I guess. Fortunately he doesn't live near West LA area. If he did he would have been swamped by tall, leggy, and nubile golddiggers from all around the world. LA is just like that, if you live in the wrong spot.
Girls just wanna have fun...
Gold Diggers are people too!!!
I'll take two please!!
Bill Withers sang: "You just keep on using me.... until you use me up!"
AMEN!
TMI
I'm sure he's not going to have any problems finding women. I wonder how much money is going to blow on hookers/gold diggers? Hell, I wonder how much "blow" is he going to blow?
I think the current going rate for lottery hookers is about $5000 per hour, not including tip, tax or bonuses, for special services that are off
the regular menu.
