Win the lottery, blow up your house.

[highland145]

Sounds like a plan.

WICHITA, Kan. – Authorities say two brothers accidentally blew up their house after celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth.
Wichita police Sgt. Bruce Watts said one of the brothers was taken to a hospital and the other to jail after Friday's explosion. The Wichita Eagle

reported that the injured 27-year-old brother is in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.
Watts said the explosion happened after one of the brothers went to the kitchen to refuel the butane torches they planned to use to light their bongs. The brother emptied a couple large cans of butane lighter fluid, leaking butane into the air.
Eventually, butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, causing the blast.
"The butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, and as you might expect, ka-boom," Watts told the newspaper.
The injured brother was wearing a lottery T-shirt during the explosion. His girlfriend reportedly loaded him and some children into a car and drove him to the emergency room of a nearby hospital, where she dropped him off and left, according to the newspaper.

I saw this headline this morning and just assumed that they won millions and this was their way of celebrating - blow up your old house and build a new one. Glad I came in this thread and read the article - this is almost hilarious.

You know how to use a computer and don't begin every sentence with "hey y'all..."

You are therefore disqualified from the lottery.

Not if the hooker OD's on you. But that's why you pay afterwards and not before.
