Lotto Money Goes to the Goats

Published by PETA.

No ifs, ands, or head butts—Bucky is one lucky goat. A California couple won $2 million from a scratch lottery ticket, and they plan to spend it to upgrade their animal sanctuary. They credit Bucky, the first animal they ever rescued, for their good fortune. Their decision means big bucks for Bucky and his buds (who include horses, chickens, and other goats). I’m guessing that Bucky will blow the money on kids, chicks, and a pimped-out pen.

How would you spend the money if you won the lottery? Leave us a comment and let us know. While you’re dreaming of all that dough, be sure to watch the video of Bucky and the rest of the brood. Spoiler alert: One of the goats tries to eat the oversized check.
