Say what you will about the idea of the lottery, that's it's just a smokescreen constructed to distract the public from the soul-crushing realities of slogging through an indifferent world day by miserable day by offering an infinitesimal glimmer of hope for a deliverance that doesn't exist, (like religion, you might say, or sports, or the idea of having children) or that it's effectively a stupid tax rigged to enrich the State's coffers off the backs of the gullible, but at least every now and again you hear a good story about some sap, who -- why the hell not -- seems just as deserving as anyone else (except you) to win the damn thing. This would not be one of those stories.
"Three asset managers from Belpointe Asset Management in Greenwich, Connecticut have won the $254 million Powerball Jackpot," reports Business Insider. Of course they were from Greenwich, reports me.
"The Putnam Avenue Family Trust, named after the street address for Belpointe Asset Management, is taking the after-tax lump sum of $103.5 million in cash," MSNBC says.
"Fuck all y'all, 99% fgtz," God says.
"The men did not speak at a news conference Monday morning, but Skidmore, who is president of Belpointe, was heard saying that 'it feels good' to have won."

"The jackpot was the largest ever won in Connecticut and the 12th biggest in Powerball history."
