ELWOOD, Indiana (AP) -- A man who won $57,000 in an Indiana lottery game taped for television died hours later after being hit by a pickup truck.

The "Hoosier Millionaire" featuring Carl D. Atwood, 73, was broadcast Saturday night after his family said they wanted the show to go on, Hoosier Lottery director Jack Ross said.

The broadcast concluded with a photo of Atwood accompanied by text reading: "In memory of Carl Atwood."

Atwood won the money Thursday during a two-hour taping in Indianapolis.

"I am very thankful," he said on the program. "I must admit that I never expected to be leaving the show with this amount of money. Now I can purchase a very nice car."

Hours later, Atwood was hit by a truck as he walked to the grocery store where he bought the winning ticket near his home in Elwood, about 40 miles northeast of Indianapolis. He died at a hospital.

The driver has not been charged.

Atwood would have been among those invited back to compete for a $1 million grand prize in three weeks.

"We will work with the family to make arrangements on how to handle the championship show," Ross said. "We will certainly have a place on that show for someone who the family chooses to take his place."

Hehehehehe....

I think I should feel bad, but something inside me wants to laugh.

Behold! I am the channeled ghost of Carl D. Atwood! I have come back to earth to reclaim my riches, yet I've hit a snag in convincing lottery officials that I am the spirit of Carl D. Atwood! I will need to put forth a $1000 dollar spiritual reclamation fee to take back what's mine! I'll share my riches with you, if you help me cover this fee. Please send $20 dollars to me, PM me for an address, and I'll help make your physical life a little happier. Besides, you can't take it with you ha ha!

My check is in the mail!!!

Oddly enough, I think the odds of winning the lottery and getting hit by a car are about the same, aren't they?

Does anyone else think this is something that would happen to me?

When I saw that you were the last reply in this thread that's what I thought you probably had posted.

Shit, you couldn't win the lottery if spelling your first name correctly was the prerequesite.

-Ugly Bastard</font>[/quote]He knows...I took it as a given that I had won the lottery. To be honest, you're right, I'd need to rig it. Then I suppose you could argue that I deserve to get hit by a pickup. The whole thing has "tonguegina" written all over it.

I thought that it either had "Hoosier Lottery" or "Carl Atwood" written all over it...Maybe it's just me.
