I'm glad the guy won it. He was broke, couldn't pay his bills and seems humble about the whole thing. His kids are going to be able to get a higher education now if they choose and god damnit the guy is gonna get some new teeth!

usually the people who win it are like that.  remember the alst guy won was a poor rancher living in a trailer home?  sort of levies the conscious that its not someone who already has a lot of money...

while he is deserving, there are many far more deserving potential recipients.

if he (or anyone for that matter) could spend $124,000,000.00 or even  HALF that in a two year period, then they have something extremely wrong. shit, if he buys a nice decent home for even $4,000,000. maybe a few new cars, his trip to Disneyland and the essentials for the next couple months, he couldn't break $10,000,000 unless he TRIED. be carefull Shaw, you're 29yrs old, dont go back to where you started

im fucking stoked for this dude. sure, he doesn't need it as much as starving children in africa, but i bet hell donate money to them. he seems like a standup dude. he works a minimum wage job, and just wants to chill with his kids and buy them some toys and shit and pay off all his bills.

fuck you guys hating on him with your nascar and fuck america comments, saying he will waste his money and shit. it even said in the article that he plans to consult someone who knows about money as to how to handle this situation. who cares if hes missing two front teeth and dresses like a redneck? this guy has probably done more honest work in a single day than you pussies have in your life. just because he dress in nudiez jeans and fucking jiberish tall-t's and crews doesnt mean he cant be a normal nice person like any of you. that guy fucking deserves every cent of that, more than any of you ever could.

so suck it the fuck up, get down off your high horse, and wish the guy well for having such awesome luck, or go suck your dick.

Chris Shaw, 29, said he plans to use the winnings to pay off the $1,000 he owes a friend for a truck he recently bought, catch up on his utility bills, see a dentist about getting his two missing front teeth replaced, and take his three children and his girlfriend's two children to Walt Disney World in Florida.


thats nice

I predict the South will soon have a massive shortage of cigarettes, liquor and mountain dew.
