Two Wichita brothers may have won not only the lottery but the top spot for the most dim-witted felons this week. The brother won a $75,000 winning lottery ticket and celebrated by buying pot and meth . . . and proceeded to burn down their house, securing their own arrests.
The 27 year old men appear to have burned down their home after one went into the kitchen to refuel their butane torches needed for their bongs. When he emptied the cans of lighter fluid, the butane vapor reached the pilot light and exploded.
The burned brother was taken by his girlfriend and children to the hospital where he was dumped off and left. The man was still wearing his lottery winner t-shirt and was hospitalized with serious burns. Police then showed up at the house with a warrant and the other brother came out and confessed to the drug possession. He was promptly arrested. So one brother is in jail and the other is in the burn ward.
This rivals the recent poisoning of a lottery winner in the category of “be careful what you ask for” prizes.

Bill Maher once made this statement about Brittany Spears, but it is applicable in may situations, including this one. He said: ” Sometimes you just gotta let hillbillies be hillbillies”
Stupid is as stupid does! I hope the $75,000(less taxes) will be enough to rebuild their house!!
The only question now is whether the doctors or the lawyers will get the money.

“… Celebratory Drug Use …”

Dredd,
Right on…

a good used single wide goes for about 10k
Meth and butane dont mix. A double wide seems to make sense at this point. As pointed out by Pete above. I hope the law is not too tough on them. Lessons were learned.
Dredd:
I think this shows Celebratory Drug Use at a magnificent level
Ginger Baker stoned out of his mind, but can at least manage the drums without burning down the house. Twice as baked as Eric and Jack, yet plays better. Now that’s a rocker.
