    A New Jersey man fell and broke his hip while walking to buy a Mega Millions ticket. He was invited to join the hospital staff's lottery pool, which included a $1 million ticket.http://apne.ws/tjD87Pd

        And, we learn that his share of the jackpot was not enough to cover his out-of-pocket expenses for his hospital stay and rehabilitation. UPDATE! Man files bankruptcy for unpaid medical costs. 'Merica - where a man can win the lottery and still can't afford health care costs.

        Unfortunately the hospital employees 1 million people. So his share it was $1. After taxes he got $.50

        I would break my hip and then get mugged in front of the hospital - because THAT is the kind of luck I have.

        Hospital staff playing lottery instead of taking care of patients? American health care system? Envy of the world according to Trump when he argues against socialized health care in UK & Canada?
