He'd seen the best and I was impressed that he believed in me, but like I stated earlier, I was too distracted by drugs, parties, and women.

Texas Lottery drawings supervisor receives top industry awardReply
Not sure what they are paying Ms Daniel. But based her list of responsibilities, she has gotten more done in her state than all the politicians combined.
