Kicking off a week of parties for his mother’s 99th birthday on October 24 by giving her 99 lottery tickets potentially worth a billion dollars.
The Idiot and his younger brother gave their mother $198 worth of lottery tickets for Friday night’s national Mega Millions drawing.
That 99th birthday gift of 99 lottery tickets could, they told her, be worth almost a billion dollars.
After the draw, however, it turned out that 99 tickets reaped exactly $18.
