Phillip Brunelle, the 29 year old from Massachusetts who recently gained international exposure for winning a combined $1m dollars after purchasing two winning lottery tickets int the same day, may be more full of crap than gulf shrimp caught after it stuffed itself at dinner.
Local police were the first to cast doubt on Brunelle’s Lottery win. Shortly after, local media began to talk about Brunelle’s sketchy past. No one can reach Phillip for comments, but he did apparently cash in a $1000.00 winning ticket. Will he shock everyone and redeem a $1m winning ticket, or was it all a hoax?
Brunelle, seen here on video, seems quite genuine. I have a bit of shame that I immediately believed this amazing story as soon as it broke. People get excited to celebrate out-of-this-world lucky occurrences, perhaps because they are hoping for one of their own. His story is somewhat sad (if it’s real). His mother suffers from cerebral palsy and just last year he was walking down a street and was hit in the head by falling concrete, requiring him to get 4 reconstructive surgeries on his face.

Lottery sales are finally being impacted by the economy. Following a surge in sales as people scrambled to try to pay bills, lottery sales are now falling because people are out of money and have given up all hope.
Most states are now reporting 5-10% declines in ticket sales and an increased number of potholes. Are you still playing the lottery despite the lackluster economy because you have higher odds of winning with less players?
