Did I just hear it right about the Powerball Winner on MSNBC?

[annabanana]

Her husband is a contractor in Iraq (no jobs around where they live) and she won powerball and told her honey to pack his bags and come on home!

Everyone who has felt it necessary to make ends meet by working over there should be able to win a big jackpot and come home.

1. Let's hope that the Irony Fairy doesn't kill him on the way back.

15. New Bush economic plan: Powerball tickets for everyone!

[Morning Dew]

2. Not sure but I don't think anyone won on Wednesday night

haven't checked that but I know I didn't win. :(

[Sal316]

3. Nobody won on Wednesday.. :)

Which means I can win it on Saturday... $200+ million.

:D

9. Well technically you can't win it on saturday.

I bought all the winning tickets. :shrug:

5. He worked for "KBR"

The newscast didn't seem to realize what KBR was.

Kellog Brown and Root (HALLIBURTON)

8. doesn't make HIM evil..............

just another peon, a victim of the bush economy.

[MidwestTransplant]

16. You are right about that

[DemBones DemBones]

Yeah, KBR means something other than potassium bromide

(which is actually KBr, but prounced the same.) They've been around quite a while, shoveling money to politicians of both parties. Before he became JFK's VP in 1960, LBJ was known as "the senator from Brown and Root."

6. She won $100,000...

She matched 5 numbers but not the Powerball.

[annabanana]

10. thanks for the correction..............

Fortunately, 100 grand is enough to bring her honey back home.

[Tom_Foolery]

12. You're welcome...

She lives in my state, so it's been all over the news today.

[LiberalVoice]

7. Nope. No winners on Wednesday. Jackpot at 215 million dollars.

[sundancekid]

11. she won $100,000 and NOT the whole multi-million bundle, BUT she did

tell her hubby to pack and come home from Iraq ... safe journey to him!

13. I hope they don't penalize him for violating the contract he signed

[RummyTheDummy]

14. delete

17. I spoke to an undecided policeman while out canvassing.

He had a buddy who was in his fifties who went to Iraq as a security contractor. Amazing that we can have these sort of "off the books" soldiers out there.

The guy I spoke with said that security was his main issue. He said he was probably going to vote for Claire McCaskill (MO Dem for governor). I think a strong performance by Kerry tonight would add this guy to the Kerry column.
