Hey boss: We're rich and we quit! In Hungary, an entire town's police force has quit after winning more than ten million euros in the lottery. The 15-strong police force in the town of Budaors scooped the jackpot with their ticket and every last one of the officers resigned on the spot. Police chiefs have scrambled back-up units to the region until more full-time officers can be recruited.
It was the sixth biggest win in Hungarian lottery history, reports the Daily Telegraph.
In a related lottery story back stateside, an Ohio woman nearly sparked a riot in a clothing store after falsely claiming she'd won the lottery and would pay for everyone's purchases.
The woman arrived at the Burlington Coat Factory in Columbus by limousine and by the time police got there 500 people were inside with another 1,000 scrambling to get in.
The woman was arrested after staff discovered she had no money and the whole stunt was a hoax.
This went over rather poorly with the folks that thought they were getting their stuff for free.
Angry customers threw merchandise around as they looted the store.
Afterward police said it looked as though a hurricane passed through it.
Linda Brown, 45, was arrested over the incident.
No charges have yet been filed, until authorities can get the troublemaker a mental evaluation. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
