"NEW YORK (AP) : With just 78 cents in his savings account and $44,000 owed to creditors, bankrupt parking garage attendant Juan Rodriguez plunked down $1 on a Mega Millions lottery ticket. Good thing, too. Rodriguez, 49, of Queens, bought his ticket about one month after filing for bankruptcy in federal court _ and cashed it in this past weekend after emerging as the lone winner of the $149 million lottery."

I'm sure the lottery company love this. It ought to keep all the low-income desperate gamblers on the hook for another year or two...
