Default Entire Police force quits after lottery win

Police force quits after lottery win

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_3524504.html

Quote:
A town's entire police force has quit in Hungary after winning more than £10 million in the lottery.



The 15-strong squad in Budaors scooped the jackpot with their ticket on Tuesday and all resigned on the spot.

Police chiefs have scrambled back-up units to the region until more full-time officers can be recruited.

It was the sixth biggest win in Hungarian lottery history, reports the Daily Telegraph.

They won't even last longer with the winning in Europe. Europe is ridiculously expensive.

This.

I've wanted to go to Britain for the longest time but can't afford it. The only way I could is if I had some friends I could stay over so I didn't have to pay for hotel.

I can't wait to go to a Bar , fall on my ass from a stool and get called all kinds of profanities.

That's why I haven't even thought of going to Europe. My coworker went and complained about the ridiculously high prices of stuff there.

Of course with the money those guys won, if they planned it right, they could live rather nicely somewhere in the South Pacific.
