Meantime we noted this story in -- aptly enough -- the MESS:
'Lucky' girl hit by lightning, then wins lotteryWe are happy for the young woman, nevertheless (and I hate to obsess over this) it reminds me of Third Coming: He was struck by some sort of political lightning, then won a lottery and became our Chief Scorekeeper. This is why I despise our ruling superiors -- they got where they are by luck, or conniving, and almost never from merit, and to the last person lack the saving grace of humility to realize how tenuous their happiness is.
