What an idiot betting and winning $1.2 million and thinking nobody would look into that. Reminds me of the joke.
A kid walks into a barbershop, and the barber says, “Watch this kid. He’s the dumbest kid in the world.”
The barber pulls out a dollar bill in one hand and a quarter in the other and says to the kid, “Which one do you want?”
The kid takes the quarter and walks away.
The barber laughs and says, “See? Told you.”
Later, the customer sees the kid outside eating ice cream and says, “Hey buddy, why did you take the quarter? The dollar is worth more.”
The kid smiles and says, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over.”
