Winning $129 million lottery ticket bought at Detroit-area porn store


Quote:
A group of friends got lucky when they bought a winning Powerball ticket at a Detroit-area porn shop.

Mike Greer claimed the $128.6 million prize on Friday, on behalf of a group of southeastern Michigan residents that he dubbed "Team Victory Club." 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.

Why were they in a porn shop? Hmmm Lets think about this. Why would anyone go into a porn shop? Perhaps to... shop...for.... well... porn?



Quote:
Uptown Book Store, an adult novelty store a few miles north of Detroit that also rents pornographic videos, will get $50,000 from lottery officials for selling the winning ticket. It shares a building with the Deja Vu strip club.

I did not know that the store selling the winning ticket gets money. Is this a common practice or only MI? In any case $50,000 to a porn shop is my type of stimulus.


Quote:
Team Victory Club, on the other hand, opted for a lump sum payout of $69.6 million before taxes.

<in my best Bevis and Butthead impression>


Hehehe They said 69 hehehe!


<yeah, I know, I am not very good at it>

Who goes to a porn store anymore, when there is a vast mosaic of internet porn available for free...

I still find a mag easier to hide than internet usage

I do that, but now routers and windows can log your connections
and using a proxy is really slow

good thing my parents don't care
I have managed to convince them that all I do is go on Subsim, The Onion and Cracked
