December 2, 200421 yr What kind of moron wins the lottery and then goes out and almost gets himself, or worse yet, someone else killed. For goodness sake, hire a frikkin driver. CHARLESTON, West Virginia (AP) -- A man who won a record $315 million in the Powerball lottery was taken to jail on charges of drunken driving and carrying a pistol, authorities said. Jack Whittaker, 57, was arrested Tuesday night after his Hummer struck a concrete median on the West Virginia Turnpike near Beckley. Senior Trooper M.J. Pinardo reported that he smelled alcohol, but Whittaker refused sobriety tests and was "extremely belligerent." Troopers also said they found a small pistol in Whittaker's boot and he was carrying $117,000 in cash. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/12/01/lottery....r.ap/index.html
