Hedonistic Head Stone Planned For Lottery Winner

PRINCE GEORGE, British Columbia -- Lottery winner Phil Lee is taking his irreverent sense of humor to his grave.

The former construction worker in his 60s says he'll use some of the nearly $76,000 he won in the lottery to buy a hedonistic headstone.

Lee said his tombstone will read, "Been there, done that" and show "a champagne glass, a royal flush, a slot machine, a nude woman facing backward and a stick of dynamite with a lit fuse."

He said he first thought he'd won the $19 million top prize in the Super 7 draw last Friday, "so after I came down from the ceiling it took me two hours to realize what I actually had."

Unable to work because of lung problems from exposure to asbestos on construction projects, Lee said he also would buy a new set of teeth and some good walking shoes, share some of the money with his family and try "to break the Hollywood Casino" in Prince George.

1. $19 million to $76,000? Taxes are a b*tch in Canada!

Or were there multiple winners? ;-)

Nice headstone, though.
