The Devil Looks After His Own

Anchorage , Alaska, America. The winner of the $500,000 lottery drawing came forward to collect his prize. The raffle was designed to benefit the charity organization Standing Together Against Rape, or STAR.

The irony is that the winner, Alec Ahsoak aged 54 was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor twice in 1993 and once in 2000.

He says he plans to use the money to buy a home and and a rape van and to improve his life, and said he will donate $100,000 to STAR

Poor Ahsoak says he's had a hard-luck life, and the money will help him turn that around. He grew up in foster homes and the Jesse Lee Home for Children in Seward. I'm sure the minor he abused feels very sorry for him.

In the past he said he has donated money to a children's home in South Dakota, but that could not be verified. He even wants to volunteer and work with children.

He does not plan to give any of the money to his victim .

After taxes Ahsoak took home about $350,000 so we'll see if he actually gives $100,000 away. If you can't trust a sex offender then who can you trust?

Donald Who?

Donald Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local store on November 1st as he has done the past 20 years.

Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury.

His widow cashed in one of the Lottery tickets that in her grief she has almost forgotten about. It won her $US10 million.

"I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 78, said at Connecticut Lottery office.

"I've always wanted a Corvette, but I don't think I'll buy one. I'll stick to a small car. I might go to Mohegan Sun," she said, referring to the casino in Connecticut.

"I'm going to go home and sit and think."

The Peters children think their father would have appreciated the irony.

"He'd be very mad, he just passed away and she won a lot of money," said Brian Peters, one of the couple's three children.

"He'd say, 'Figures!'"

OBB News just hopes the merry widow remembers to bury her husband.
