This is 2 pieces of good luck really. He is just going to kill himself with an addiction and all that money. This is a chance to realize he has a problem before it's too late.

At least he can probably afford bail. And dental work. On the off chance he might need any dental work, that is.

He would be wise to go to a detox center for addicts or his winnings will be quickly eroded with future illegal drug charges and drunk driving arrests. There are many sad stories of lottery winners losing it all because of drugs and alcohol.

No... Joe Biden is a Potato(e) head that makes Dan Quayle look like Teddy Roosevelt, and even Murphy Brown can tell you that, because SHE KNOWS what it's like to live with a Ventriloquist's dummy.

NOW...'Nuff Said

So... you don't believe a whit about Western Ukranian forces shelling their own citizens (who are Russian speaking Ukranians) in the Eastern Donbas Region, ever since 2014, during OBAMA. MSM kinda glosses over that.

And, probably haven't heard a word about WHY PUTIN MOVED IN TO UKRAINE...MSM doesn't tell you about the Bioweapons labs.

And maybe you believe the IT'S ALL RUSSIA'S FAULT for the GAS PRICES HERE being $4/Gal Average but trending UPWARD.... and $7/Gal in CA.

but not a P... [ More ]

Jeet , I bet you PRAISE Putin as your wanna-be dictator, who Lost by 7 million votes, for denying Ukraine the $450 million military bill, which would've preventing thousands of Ukranian innocents from being murdered, as well as, prevent Putin from committing war crimes too ! you just can't fix STUPID

If the inside of your car is not perfect (contains something that does not belong there)

then the outside better look perfect, including the manner in which it's being driven .

She was featured on one of those lottery shows. Would this be called co-dependency, IDK?

Also you forgot one other factor in her life. Her church wanted a big chunk of change. She should've told that 'Pastor' WWJD? .

No doubt he's labeled as a PFO.

Doesn't her Mom live in WA state? Time for her to make a clean break from NC and head west young lady.

I guess his money will be going to pay a good lawyer to keep him out of jail.

Wow, this story reminds me of the MANY cases we heard on the GJ in KY. Most of our cases with expired registration have no auto insurance as well. (We had 8 months of hearing cases BTW).

On Feb. 26, Hellard stopped at the Elsmere Mini Mart on Garvey Avenue to buy some lottery tickets. The first few tickets he bought did not am... [ More ]
