1640...My Name Is Earl

Life imitates art and not in a fun way.

A story familiar to fans of the old NBC sitcom My Name Is Earl happened to Deborah McDonald of Sandusky, Ohio recently.

Win lotto; get hit by car.

Direct from the pages of the Sandusky Register comes this:

SANDUSKY, Ohio -- Authorities say a woman who had been out celebrating her winnings in the Ohio Lottery was killed when she was struck by a car.

The Ohio Highway Patrol says Deborah McDonald of Crystal Rock had just left a bar in north-central Ohio and was walking along a road last night when she was hit.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery says McDonald won $8,000 in the lottery's TV game show Cash Explosion Double Play.

The show was taped Jan. 12 and is set to air at the end of the month.

Patrons at a tavern near Sandusky say McDonald was with a group that had been celebrating her winnings and playing pool last night.

Patrol Sgt. Joe Wentworth says they are looking into whether alcohol was a factor, but they don't think the driver of the car was drinking.
