She plans to keep it, which makes her probably the dumbest person I've encountered in the news in 2015. I will admit that as a piece of geology, the diamond is pretty damn cool.

I s there a dad out there living hand to mouth who says, "Vacation time kids! We're going to Quiktrip to get Mega Millions, Powerball and Jumbo Bucks tickets!"?
