Jackpot winner in fowl mood; serves up free chicken

It was an extra busy day Thursday at the O Nosso Talho butcher shop in downtown Toronto.
Hundreds of people have been lining up all day along Bloor Street West to get some of the free chicken owner Jose Lima is giving away.
Lima said he's handing out 22,680 kilograms of chicken legs to celebrate the $14.5 million he won last week in Lotto 6-49 and in memory of his father, who died five years ago.
"I give a full bag of chicken legs. You can sit down with the family, with three or four children, and you have food for one day," said Lima, as he handed out chicken at the store. "I want the people to remember me, I want people to remember my father … It's the biggest day of my life."
Lima says he's handed out chicken to about 500 people every hour.
He's also giving $5,000 to each of the store's employees.
The 52-year-old father of two says the big win won't change his life too much.
But one thing will change: he plans to cut his seven-day work week to three or four days.

You also hear of people who win, who end up on skid row, again.
Does everybody who plays the lottery hate their job? Why do retired people bother to play or gamble? I would cut down hours at work, but I wouldn't quit my job. And if I did I'd probably open a restaurant and want to be the cook. I'd be working.
yeah, i'd work but i would definitely be the boss. but maybe i would be like the Office Space guy and do absolutley nothing. sit on my ass all day and do nothing. ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
