They should donate some to Katrina victims that are at a big loss. Being in the construction business, he could help alot of people who were at a great loss after Katrina.

He owned a small construction company not a big one. In fact, I''ve lived in the Metairie/Kenner area for my whole life and never heard of his company and my husband is in the construction field too! The bottom line is that many people have said on local websites that he and his wife are the nicest people you could ever meet and that shows in the fact that he finished all his outstanding contracts before coming forward to claim the prize money.

I like to add that he is in fact staying in NO and rebuilding his camp in Lake Catherine that was destroyed by the storm.

I''m glad for the winners, that they are now financially secure, but, it does seem to say something about government policies, that when so many people needed prompt help on the basics of life right after Katrine struck, it took so long to begin to bring help; yet, we finance part of government with lottery games that give large payments of wealth to a relative handful of people.

I would take the money and get the hell out of New Orleans.

I was hoping it would be one of the people that really needed the money, not "owner of a construction company" like he really needs it...too bad more people that need the money do not win it.

I bet it will help! It would be nice if they share some with their neighbors...
