I wish all states and provinces would allow the identity of lottery winners to remain a secret. Just winning usually does enough to ruin someone’s life on its own without the addition of having their having won publicly known.

Well, considering that at the current rate, 95M jamaican dollars is worth a bit less than 650K US dollars, I would aim for something even smaller than a tensy-weensy death star. A death garden shed?

Local area man on respirator says the repeated denials of his death star are due to the count of his midichlorians. His neighbors disagree, describing a crotchety old man that force chokes kids and pets that get near his lawn.

And the lawsuits from the families of the maintenance workers were financially crushing to the Empire.
Negligent design, violations of health codes (letting strange monsters run amok in the sanitation system)…

Oddly close to my plan if I were to win. I was going to go with John Smith. But Darth might work.
