Richard "Frosty" Frost, a 67-year-old Wisconsin businessman, will lead about 50 people from his hometown of Berlin, Wisc., to Reno this week on a mission to win big money.
Following a tradition of almost a decade, the group plans to start Thursday putting in $15,000 into the Megabucks statewide linked progressive slot game at the Silver Legacy, hoping to win the grand jackpot currently at $10 million.
His group includes about 150 people, who have each ponied up $100 as part of the $15,000 to be played.
"They like the interest, they like the thrill of the idea that $100 might get them $50,000 a piece for a $100 dollar investment," said Frost.
I never did any good on the Megabucks machines. It's Wheel of Fortune for me although I might try the Megabucks machine this week knowing there are idiots from Wisconsin dumb enough to throw 15 grand away.

Is it time to sack the DNC chair?
Doug Wilder seems to think so:
I am an admirer of Tim Kaine, whom I backed in his current position as one of my successors as Virginia governor and even recommended for the vice presidency. But a spate of recent losses in races that Democrats should have won underscores what has been obvious to me for a long time: The chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee is the wrong job for him.
