Doing "My Name is Earl" wrong

[QuePsiXI]

SANDUSKY, Ohio - A lottery winner who was struck and killed by a car in northern Ohio on the day she got her check had just spent some of the money on wedding rings for her and her husband.

The Ohio Highway Patrol says 47-year-old Deborah McDonald of Crystal Rock was walking home from a bar when she was hit by a car.

McDonald had been drinking and celebrating her winnings before she died, investigators said.

McDonald got a check for $5,520 on Tuesday and treated her husband and friends to dinner. Friends said she also bought a pair of wedding rings that the couple had been unable to afford.

McDonald won the money in the Ohio Lottery's TV game show "Cash Explosion Double Play."

The show is set to air Saturday.

Wow that is.. the absolute epitome of Irony.

Poor poor woman.

[ZarakiKujata]

I'm guessing she didnt have good karma.

[Stiker]

Cue Alanis Morissette

[Plow]

going out to have a good time celebrating and getting killed is actually pretty ironic

[Headspace]

Cash Explosion is fucking awesome.

Bitch should have bought a car instead of rings. How'd that work out for ya?

Awesome lol. I feel bad for the lady but that was funny. Made even funnier by the woosh below.

[QuePsiXI]

God damn Qalbert. God damn. Yeah other responses were funny too, but that one is /thread.

Feeling a draft.

Fuck a draft, a tsunami hit. Super whoosh.

Bet she regrets not getting the car crash resistant titanium exoskeleton with all that money

you can regret things when you are dead right?

[Lucavi]

So she was boozing and spent too much time too close to a road and this is somehow a tragedy?

Color me jaded, but if she was at fault in the accident due to her drunkenness, so be it. If it was the driver's fault, then I offer my condolences.

You are quite jaded. If I send a car through New Orleans at 4AM and plow through 20 drunk people, I'm pretty sure it won't be 20 cases of "that's what they get for drinking."

The story offers no idea of where she was(heavy drinking area, lots of bars, well-lit, etc) or what her BAC was, so your statement is reaching.
Ninja: Being drunk is not punishable by death. I'm about to go do that shit tonight.

On the one hand, sad.

On the other, she died at the end of probably her happiest day ever in her life. Went out on a high note at least.

being drunk in a dangerous location is asking for trouble

I thought she won the lottery until I saw the $5k amount. That's not the lottery. This would have been bet-- I mean, worse if she had won the real lottery.
