Unenthused Couple Wins Millions in Lottery

Wed, 03/12/2008 - 2:00pm by GiggleSugar

Robert and Tanya Harris live a modest life in a farming town in Georgia, so imagine their ~~surprise~~ indifference upon discovering that the lotto ticket in their possession was worth $270 million dollars. Winning the jackpot means no more hard hats and no more tools for Robert; he's free to live a life of leisure! Naturally, homeboy is ~~jumping for joy~~ pouting and frowning. Tanya can finally get the Mercedes of her dreams, so she's as ~~elated~~ nonchalant as ever. It's an ~~extraordinary~~ mediocre story of ~~good~~ average fortune, really.

There are whole parts of this video that could equally apply if something terrible had happened. Weird.

What if they are not annoying,
mega-maniacs, new money
with the immense need
to prove that they worth something and
they are important just because of their bank account?
What if they are just some folks
who like their privacy
and gonna share their joy with their family and friends?

The video is precious anyway...

ok MAYBE they are nervous, MAYBE they aren't used to the attention and don't want to flaunt it, but COME ON, you just won the mega millions lottery man, i would think at least the semi-natural reaction would be to smile ear to ear and act a little loopy
