Paul loses the Powerball lotto...
...yet again!

Occassionally when the Powerball lottery gets over $40 million, Paul will buy a ticket. Just one ticket. What kind of calculus Paul used to arive at that threshold of the jackpot to purchase any ticket, we may never know. Anyway, yet again Paul was denied another jackpot ($208.6 million ) which was (in his mind) rightfully his.

So it goes, Paul's dream of owning a Bugattti Veyron is remains unfulfilled. The most expensive and fastest street legal car in the world -- the Veyron -- is a 16 cylinder monster with 1,001 horsepower, a top speed of 253 mph, and an estimated 2.5 sec 0-60.

Maybe it's for the better....the Veyron comes with an automatic transmission anyway...denied his dream car, Paul embraces the "Fox and the Grapes" concept. In the meantime, while awaiting the massive lottery jackpot due to him, Paul can race around in our Passat station wagon (with a manual tranny of course) and pretend its almost like a 2-door Bugatti.

To make donations to "A Veyron for Paul Foundation" please send checks made out cash to Paul.


Can you not imagine Paul behind he seat?
