For some reason this story actually makes me feel happy. Not because i get off on others misery but.. aww hell... mainly because of his misery. Who we kidding.

Hmm, according to the story he was overlooked. Does that mean they never asked him? if that's the case he should sue for his cut of the prize (lets say $1,000 from each winner). Unfortunately they didn't really go into details on the overlooked part of the story.

They'll give him the $26 he would have spent.

If nothing else, the guy now has a free ticket for all the passive-agressive fun at the town's expense for the rest of his life.

OH SNAP!

It's this one Popeye cartoon where Popeye and a whole bunch of people are running a marathon, and Bluto's up to his usual nefarious tricks.

Everyone crosses the finish line at the same time except Bluto, who's greatly shamed and crying.

IT'S JUST LIKE THAT.

Winning millions could ruin a persons life.

Are my friends really my friends? Why wont the people in my fancy new neighborhood talk to me? Should I have bought carboard at .02 cents a ton? Why am I not happy?

Winning two hundred thousand would farking rock however.

Must have been one impressive as hell lottery to have a jackpot of damn near a billion bucks. Moreover, note that there were so many people in the pool, the average payout was $131,000.

Checking that many tickets must have taken days. Jeez, I can even imagine being the dude behind the person buying them all at the convenience store: "I'll take seven thousand, two hundred, and fifty two Powerball tickets, please." Me: "Oh hell, all I wanted was a soda."

If you ever win millions, you can keep two hundred thousand of it and I'll take the rest off your hands to prevent you pain and suffering, k?

Grobbley: Popeye story missing spinach, does not compute

Oh, there was totally spinach (which enabled Popeye to overcome fatigue and get back in the race), but I glossed over that in the name of brevity and getting to the point of one guy getting totally and thoroughly hosed.

I'm a Popeye purist, mammajamma. If there's no spinach, there's no Popeye myth. It's that simple.

He may end up being the big winner and end up with it all. Who else is going to coddle to his every neighbors whim?

For a buck, that is. A workforce monopoly of one, if you will.

That happened to my dad. When the guy from work went around to collect money, my dad didn't pitch in...28 people split $29 million. The second time they won, he did chip in, but they only split $250,000. My dad is still bitter about the first one.

The exact same thing happened to my cousin Theodore.

We got a lottery based on your zip-code. After every jackpot there is always one person complaining that it is a form of blackmail because you can always see if you would have won or not. And because the neighbors who did win will think you were stupid not to play.

//Can't lose either

Is the prize amount in Pesos or something?! Nearly $1 billion?! Seriously?!
