Good Karma? Bah, Humbug. Convicted Murder Wins U.K. Lottery

Hey… I’ve been getting a lot of email from people around the world who want to contribute.

This one is from Lottie, in the U.K.

Thought everyone would enjoy reading this.

They say Karma will get you in the end and good things don’t happen to bad people but it seems that one story this week is proving that theory untrue.

This past week a murderer won 250,000 pounds in a UK lottery.

Michael Edgar stabbed his wife Deborah to death after she had taunted him at a disco in 1986, the unfortunate lady died instantly as the knife penetrated her heart.

The awful, frenzied attack happened in front of their babysitter at the couple’s home in Essex. Mr Edgar was convicted of manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility and served just three years.

Edgar has since remarried and had children, his numbers came up last week in the Thunderball draw on the UK National Lottery.

Edgar was quoted in the British press as saying he is over the moon about his lottery win, it’s not a fortune and he still will have to keep his job for a building firm in Essex but it should make his life a lot easier.

He says that because everyone knows him, it was pointless keeping quiet about the win, or in fact his conviction.

It just goes to show that luck is no respecter of class or morals and if it’s your turn to be lucky then lucky you are.

In the U.S., the Powerball jackpot was not won so it rolls to an estimated $129 million on Sept. 23.

Good luck players.
