More Bald Eagles Spotted In Harlem!
The Harlem Mega Millions winner who said that winning the $168 million has turned his life into hell is apparently eager to continue spreading the word and allowing people around him to share in the collective nightmare. A Fordham bodega owner near the one where Groves bought the winning ticket two weeks ago says he came in to buy a six-pack of Heineken and began bragging of the winnings and the fact that he was "not working anymore in my life!" The store owner who encountered Groves tells the Post, "I didn't believe him, because what would a millionaire be doing coming in here and buying candy and beer?" When Groves first revealed himself to be the winner after laying low for a couple weeks, he said, "It's a dream turned into a nightmare. Winning is the beginning. Living with it is pure hell." But now he seems to be in better spirits; the News talks to a liquor store owner in his neighborhood who said, "He came in and bought a bottle of Hennessy yesterday. He was so happy." The Harlem man says he doesn't plan on abandoning his regular spots because "I got my McDonald's and White Castle near me."

Advice to Groves: Immediately leave The Bronx.
Just move. The city needs White Castle more than it needs you...
10 to 1 he's broke and on food stamps in under a year.
Sucker bet and you know it, even money!
What's more annoying than an onion smell?
Ham-handed shameless self promotion in a blog comment.

No, what's more annoying is a double post.
Not only that, but when you eat at White Castle, you wake up with onions in your armpits.
This just shows that no amount of money will make your mind get bigger.
It would seem that poverty is just a state of mind.
This must be some kind of performance art -- ghetto satire, maybe? This guy is too perfect, stereotypically.
This is extremely aggravating. I guess money can't buy you intelligence.
you're a multi millionaire.
get rid of your cell phone
hire assistants
give them cellphones
hire a bodyguard
hire a butler to go to the bodega for you
and the mc donalds and the white castle
Get Neflix
rent Richie Rich
buy your own McDonalds
If all of that doesn't pan out for you, stop crying about the money and give it to charity.
I feel an apoplectic fit coming on.
move to costa rica
buy costa rican hookers
develop a cocaine habit
own a fleet of helicopters
host helicopter races
get rid of your wife
buy a submarine
learn golf
learn how to knit
buy a yacht
take up yoga
invent a puppy cannon
WTF!
MMMmmmm BELLY BOMBS.
It's all relative.
I have nothing and my life is a living hell. Bwahhahahaha
Cry! Me! A! River!
the only thing that can put the cherry on top of this stereotype pie is if one of his old girlfriend's look him up and tell him the child is his and wants child support.
With all this money and its not making you happy - then make someone else happy!
I'll work with you (Mr. Groves) to create a charity that will save hard working families from bankruptcy and foreclosures!
This is truly an idiot, first thing you do when you win that much money?
MOVE! Buy a house in the Northwest and plan how you will use the rest of the money next.
Don't stay in the ghetto, twit.
By northwest do you mean Riverdale?
It's tough to feel sorry for someone that just won $168 million but, jeez, this poor guy is going to be broke and bitter in a couple of years.
No, I meant somewhere in Oregon or Montana.
If you win 168 million dollars why in the world would you stay in the Bronx. Move to the country and get away from the potential leeches.
It's beginning to look like Mr. Groves might not outlive his lottery winnings, unless he changes his attitude.
