Further proof the world is just plain unfair occurred last Monday when Atlanta, Georgia-based asshole Brian McGurney matched all winning numbers and the Powerball in the Powerball lottery game to win the $25 million jackpot.

McGurney, a 27-year-old former assistant manager for a major video retailer, currently “between things,” checked the paper Monday morning to find out he had matched all winning numbers and the elusive Powerball to claim the jackpot. With no sense of humility, McGurney admits it was his first (and now only) lottery ticket.

The winning prize of $25 million will be paid out over 25 years, approximately $1 million before taxes each year, to supplement McGurney’s income. The high school graduate bragged that, after taxes, a friend figured out for him he’d be taking home about $750,000.

McGurney refreshingly admitted that the money would change him greatly.

“Yeah, sure, I’m not going to let the money change me—you think I’m going to tool around in a ’92 Ford Tempo with a million bucks a year coming at me? Forget it. I’m going to get something expensive and obnoxious. Like a Rolls Royce or a monster truck.”

The big win comes at a great time for McGurney, whose ten-year high school reunion is the first week of June in a couple weeks.

“At first I wasn’t going to go,” said McGurney, “but now, you bet your sweet ass I’m going to be there. I thought I might wear an expensive tuxedo, but now I’m leaning toward just wearing an expensive jogging suit. You know? It says, ‘I have the money, but you’re not important enough to wear a tux for.’”

The little toad is also not forgetting the most important people in his life, like his parents.

“Mom and dad have hit on hard times lately, with dad losing his job and all,” McGurney said. “But I’m going to surprise them by buying back their house from the bank. That’ll be a kick in the ass, me being their landlord! Ha! I’m sure my rent will be reasonable, based on their income and such, like they did for me when I lived with those pricks.

“I’m also going to pay off my girlfriend’s car,” continued McGurney. “That ought to settle up things between us for that money I borrowed for that big stock venture. Then I’ll have a clear conscience when I kick her to the curb. I want to make a clean break before I start hooking up with all the supermodels and shit who’ll be scoping me now.”

McGurney had no immediate plans to start a savings account, though he did have an excellent idea to put five pounds of fish into a safe deposit box, remarking how “they’ve been asking for a major prank after bouncing six of my checks.”

For all his faults, McGurney’s friends still think he’s a deserving winner.

“It’s about time,” said long-time friend Tim Blanch. “Brian’s been through a few tough years since high school, and those jerks at the video store should have given him a break when he needed it. Now that he’s finally hit his stride, you can count on him to remember his friends who are down like he once was.”

Blanch added, “That’s good stuff you can use, right? Make sure the pissant reads it, if he can even read. What a fucking knob.”
