560...Win 6/49 Do Not Pass Go But Go To Jail

CBC.ca reports that it was a good news, bad news day for Barry Shell.

The good news: he won more than $4 million. The bad news: he ended up in jail.

Mr. Shell who is from Brampton, Ont., picked up a cheque for $4,377,298, the top prize in the July 18 draw for the Lotto 6/49.

On Monday afternoon, a smiling Mr. Shell was photographed holding up his cheque at the OLG headquarters in Toronto. Then he strolled out of the building into the arms of Peel Regional Police officers who wanted Mr. Shell on a six year old warrant for failing to appear, theft under 5,000$ and possession of property obtained by crime.

OLG says that every lottery winner undergoes a security check, and if anything is turned up during the course of the investigation the matter is turned over to the Ontario Provincial Police.

Our winner/loser was held overnight and appeared in court on Tuesday. He has been charged and released.

At least now he can afford a lawyer.

384...ZeroMeansZero Is Wet

ZeroMeansZero, the Mayor Larry O'Brien hatefest, is soaking wet today.

For those of you not current on this file, the Mayor of Ottawa is in court. A former candidate for the office, a window licker named Terry Kilrea, has accused hizzoner of being a politican and convinced the Crown Attorney and the Ontario Provincial Police that that is a no no. Hizzoner made a bit of move to have everything thrown out of court yesterday. Alas, not happening.

This is what has got ZeroMeansZero so very wet.
