All Frank Farricker is saying is that if he’d bought the winning Powerball ticket? He would’ve acted like it meant something to him, unlike Mr. It’d Kill Me To Crack A Smile over here.

Farricker, a fellow Greenwich resident who is chairman of the Connecticut Lottery Corp., presented a poster-sized check to the trio during a news conference Monday. “To their credit, they did show up to Rocky Hill in a very large stretch limo,” Farricker told Greenwich Time. “They were in suits.”…When Farricker left lottery headquarters Monday, he said that officials there were in the processing of cutting a single check to the winners of the historic jackpot. “I think I would have cried if I had actually seen the check,” Farricker said. “My joke to people is if I ever won a lottery like that, my press conference would be at the airport.”

    If he was a real asshole, he would have showed up in his 2001 F-150.

    @MillionaireNxtDoor- he would have showed up in a Murcielago LP 640, given the 750 is probably still on back order. God Bless the 1%
