  WHY would you say 'freaking plant workers won it' ???????????????????????

  I happen to know one of those 'freaking plant workers', and they are just as deserving as anyone else, and I would say that even if I didn't know the person.  I'd always rather see a large pot split among several people, as opposed to just one winner.

  I'd rather see it go to 'freaking plant workers' as opposed to someone that is already a millionaire - which has happened, or some drug dealer - which has happened.
