Timing Is Everything

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this over the weekend. Timing truly is everything. British bus driver Kevin Halstead just won the lottery. That in and of itself is pretty amazing; I don't know what bus drivers make, but I'm guessing it's a lot less than the $3.3 million he won. But what makes this story even better is when he won the lottery.

In a great cosmic F-U to ex-wives the world over, Kevin Halstead won the lottery the day after his divorce was finalized. If his divorce had taken one day longer, he'd have had to fork over $1.6 million to his ex. Now she gets nothing. Utterly fucking heartwarming.

He's obviously not a bright guy, however, because he already has a new girlfriend. He'll no doubt sprint down the aisle again, and lose it all. But it's cool for right now.
