Several public employees in Piqua, Ohio, pooled their money together and apparently won the $207 million Mega Millions jackpot:

One of the winners, and a city employee, said Sunday all but one of the winning ticket holders are also city employees. He said 12 to 14 people have a stake in the winnings, and those winners agreed, after talking with their lawyer, to withhold comment.

Enderle said most of the winners work for the 20-member street department, which would lose more than half of its staffing if every winner chose to put their jobs behind them.

Enderle said he met with the winners and their supervisors Monday morning. The winners were told he thought it would be best for them to take a couple of days off to think about what they want to do in coming weeks.

There would be no question what I would do, and that's instantly retire.

You know, this kind of criminal activity is just about as low as it gets:

Then, the attorney she stole from served her with a civil suit seeking $2.2 million for the damages to him and his business.

"I don't expect to ever see a dime of it," said Bruce Harrell, whose Ashland law practice primarily deals with family law cases.

He hopes, however, that civil and criminal cases against Marissa Renee Wren, 26, will help bring attention to embezzling cases and protect vulnerable people.

Wren, 26, pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree forgery and charges of first-degree aggravated theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and second-degree forgery. She entered her pleas in Jackson County Circuit Court Friday morning and acknowledged that her thefts violated a professional responsibility she had toward Harrell, who was vulnerable because he had to trust her, his assistant, to pay his bills.

"This is the financial equivalent of assaulting a person in a wheelchair, over and over," prosecutor David Orr said in calling for a stringent sentence. "This is a case for people to see how the justice system serves the vulnerable."

And get this. She has a younger brother who has Down syndrome. Fucking unbelievable.
