DES MOINES, Iowa - Ed O'Neill's bank account just got a lot bigger, thanks to a co-worker who told him some "idiot" hasn't claimed an $800,000 Powerball lottery prize.
O'Neill, 58, who works for the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, bought the ticket for a Jan. 6 Powerball drawing. He told Iowa Lottery staffers he didn't think to check the results until a couple days afterward when a chamber receptionist pointed out an article in the local newspaper.
"She said, 'Read this article about the idiot that hasn't claimed his ticket.' So I read it and noticed where the ticket was bought," O'Neill said. "I thought, 'Gee, I better look at my ticket.' That's when I said, 'I think I won.'"

This sounds exactly like something Al Bundy would do! Except his dog Buck would've eaten the ticket right after Al found out he won.

Or else his daughter would've thrown it away.

A while back, there was a local gas station that sold a winning ticket for multi-millions and it never got claimed in a small town below Zanesville.

Fucking idiots.
