Gold? Jewels? NY lottery winner just wants burge

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

NEW YORK (AP) — Would you like a few million dollars worth of fries with that?

New Yorker Jimmy Groves says his first inclination after collecting his $168 million lottery prize was to “buy a hamburger.”

There was no mention of pricey kobe (KOH’-bee) beef, either.

Groves, who calls himself “a regular guy,” bought his winning ticket at a Bronx grocery store.

The Madison Square Garden laborer said Tuesday he’ll also set aside money for his son’s and grandchild’s education. And, who knows? He may even buy a house.
