Soldier Hits The Jackpot
Now that he's won, Leyde, a 26-year-old member of the Washington National Guard, says he's still going to volunteer to go back to Iraq for a third tour and won't spend any of the money in the meantime.
Leyde was driving near his home in Mead, Washington when he stopped at a store on the side of the road and bought a ticket.
'I decided to walk into a local Zip Trip. I got a Coke and beef jerky and walked up to the counter and thought I'd pick up a few scratch tickets and try my luck. I was on my way out when the lady said, 'Do you have a lucky scratch coin?'
'I said 'no, you gave me a dime and nickel back.''
'She said 'no, try this,'' handing Leyde a penny. 'On my way home I started scratching tickets. They were losers. I'm thinking, boy, that lady didn't know what she was talking about.'" continued

One Dedicated Soldier
Thank the Lord above we have people like this around the world protecting our interests and wiping out terrorists wherever they are slithering around. Most Americans and others around the globe would quit their jobs in a second after a windfall like this, especially a dangerous occupation like US soldier.
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it. H. L. Mencken
