A Michigan man isn't letting something a lottery windfall stop him from using government assistance to buy food.
In an interview with WNEM Saginaw, the man says his $2 million winnings from last year didn't go as far as he would have liked. He said taxes swallowed up more than half the money, and he has no apologies for using his government-provided electronic card to buy food, saying "If you're going to ... try to make me feel bad, you aren't going to do it."
The man says he has permission from the Department of Human Services to continue using the card. Neighbors have spotted him driving an Audi convertible.

Man To Eat His 25,000th Big Mac Today

At 4pm Eastern, Don Gorske, 57, will have eaten his 25,000th Big Mac, reports Wisinfo. He has timed the event to coincide with the exact anniversary, down to the hour, of the very first time he ate, and fell in love with, Big Macs 39 years ago. Despite daily doses of Big Macs consisting of "90% of his solid food intake," Gorske is not obese and he runs in races. How is this possible?
Well the worst part about fast food comes from the grease the fries are fried in and the sugar packed into its sodas. He doesn't eat the fries or drink the soda, just the beef special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. He is 6 foot 2, 185 pounds and says his cholesterol level is 140. He eats around 2 Big Macs a day and that adds up to only around a daily intake of 1,080.
See, fast food isn't evil, just the fries, soda, and sugar-filled salad dressing and sugar-drenched yogurt smoothies are. Writing this story makes me want to walk over to McDonald's and get one of them Angus burgers and a seltzer, and that's it.

Drivers Line Up For Cheap Gas After Glitch Lowers Price To $1.10/Gallon

by Chris Morran

When people in the L.A. neighborhood of Wilmington began to get word that a Valero gas station was selling gas for the low, low price of $1.10 a gallon, there were soon cars lined up around the corner. But this wasn't some crazy promotional discount; it was a computer glitch that lost the station's owners thousands of dollars.
According to KCAL 9, it took a few hours for the on-duty attendant to realize that it wasn't the late '80s and that people weren't queuing up just to see his pretty face. In the meantime, police had arrived on the scene to direct traffic around the station.
When the station owner finally got wind of his unintended generosity, he shut down all the pumps until the problem could be fixed. He estimates that he lost around $21,000 because of the glitch but says he hopes that at least some of the people who got discount gas will come back and buy stuff at his convenience store in the future.
