Some things money cannot buy

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Those who dream of winning the EuroMillions Lottery should learn a key lesson from Pascal Brun, the jackpot winner from 2004 – some things just can’t be bought!

A lottery winner was found guilty of trying to bribe a policeman after he was caught drunk driving his Ferrari.

After a few too many drinks, surely a lottery winner would have enough money for a taxi ride home!

Happy Winnings.

 

 

Lottery jackpot key to town’s fiscal bailout plan

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

We all hope and dream that one day we will win the jackpot and eradicate all those financial worries. However, a Sicilian mayor is taking this idea to a whole new extreme. In order to resolve the town’s cash flow problems, the mayor of Ficarra is betting local officials’ salaries on the upcoming SuperEnalotto, which has an estimated jackpot of 116 million euro, claiming the chances of winning are higher than receiving funds pledged by the state!

Well, the Gluto.com team is keeping its fingers crossed for Mayor Basilio Ridolfo – not only for the upcoming draw, but also in the hope that state funds become more available than lottery jackpots!

Buona fortuna Sindaco Ridolfo!
