I've decided -- call it a New Year's resolution of sorts -- to post more good news.
Napoleon Elvord, a veteran from Wisconsin, won't be spending his $14.3 million dollar jackpot on big, lavish, luxury items. Instead he'll be buying health insurance to help him get a kidney transplant that he so desperately needs.
The prize was completely accidental. Mr. Elvord is a regular lottery player but this is the first time he mistakenly bought a Megabucks ticket instead of his usual Powerball ticket. Had it not been for workers at a Madison, Wisconsin, Mobil gas station asking him if he'd won, Elvord may have missed out on collecting his winnings.
