CNN reports that a group of friends got lucky when they purchased a winning lottery ticket worth $129 million at a Detroit porn store. A man named Mike Greer claimed the ticket for a group of friends:
At a press conference in Lansing, Michigan, Greer wouldn’t answer questions as to who purchased the ticket at Uptown Book Store in Highland Park, or why they were at the store in the first place. “Nobody cares,” said Greer.
Good to know that Greer is already making the most of his “fuck you” money in his answers to reporters. Then again, winning $129 million means never having to say “I’m sorry (that I was visiting a porn shop with some work buddies and exchanging cash for goods/services).”
[Side note: I’m really curious about the circumstances behind the purchase of this lottery ticket. Who goes to a porn shop to engage in lottery ticket group-buying? They had to know that it would be one awkward prize to claim.]
