So earlier this week the Senate -- in a rare moment of fiscal sanity -- decided to cancel a scheduled pay raise. Bad news if you're a Senator, right? Well, not for Sen. Judd Gregg, who found a way to make some extra cash:
He rarely takes a chance with lottery tickets, but, on a whim, Senator Judd Gregg, a notorious fiscal conservative, plunked down $20 for 20 Powerball tickets Monday night when he stopped at a gas station on his way to the Capitol for a vote.
That small, random investment won a stunned Gregg $853,492 yesterday, when he learned that he was one of 49 people to get a piece of the Powerball Lottery jackpot.
''I always considered myself to be one of the luckiest people in the country, just to represent New Hampshire, and now that's been confirmed," a jubilant Gregg said yesterday.
Unbelievable.
