Won $75,000 - Lets Partaaayy!!

Two brothers who were celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth accidentally blew up their house on Friday, said Sgt. Bruce Watts of the Wichita Police Department.

The explosion sent one of the brothers – a 27-year-old – to the hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.

The other brother was sent to jail, Watts said.

The brothers were in a house in the 100 block of North Nevada Court, near Douglas and West Street, about 7 p.m. Friday, Watts said. One of the brothers went to the kitchen to refuel the butane torches they planned to use to light their bongs. He emptied a couple of large cans of butane lighter fluid, leaking butane into the air.

“The butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, and as you might expect, ka-boom,” Watts said.

The victim was wearing a lottery T-shirt during the explosion.

The victim’s girlfriend loaded him and some children into a car and took him to the Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis emergency room, where she dropped him off and left.

Officers went to the house with a warrant, where the other brother ran out, admitting he had marijuana and methamphetamine. He was arrested.

You don' gotta be smart to win the lottery.

Damn, for once it isn't Florida.

My $75,000 winnings would end in some sort of garage explosion trying to build a challenge car.

Reminds me of "My Name is Earl".

Figure 37-38k after taxes. Its a nice windfall. Not enough to retire but enough for a helluva party!

If I won $75,000, I'd have a blowout, too.

I assume they are relatives of Tyrone?

Weed, meth and butane torch... who coulda seen a fail comin'

In retrospect, I can't really imagine announcing it here quite like that, but I clicked on the thread hoping to hear about 914's plans for a glider upgrade...

75,000... I always thought that should be used for hookers and Blow.. not meth and weed (and a trip to the hospital and jail)

Another fine example of people who are too stupid to live.

I found this line peculiar as well. "Some" children? Does anyone know who they belong to?

or if that is all of their children? Makes it sound like they left some behind

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

If you had $75,000 worth of meth in you, you wouldn't know your own name, let alone whether all the kids running around your condemned trailer (<-------I'm assuming this part) actually belong to you. I, for one, am strangely both comforted and disturbed by the fact that this sort of stupidity isn't confined to southwest lower Michigan and Florida.

Neighborhood drop offs. The ones used to hide bags of weed, crack and meth in their diapers

sadly, it sounds like Darwin is far too late
