FEMA: Louisiana State Lotto Racist

Slidell, Louisiana (AP)-- A winning Wheel of Fortune Lotto check worth over $1.6 million dollars was accused of being racist by FEMA officials Wednesday.

The Wheel of Fortune Mega Bucks Lotto rewarded Jacquelyn Sherman, an African American, a price of $1,636,429.00 when she picked 8 correct numbers and letters out of a possible 10 digit puzzle that spelled "K-A-T-R-I-N-A-S-U-X". FEMA Officials were concerned that only her "black family members" seemed to be benefiting from the reward and that Jacquelyn only has two "token whities" in her circle of friends.

FEMA, recently criticized for there lack of support for the vastly African American population of the hardest hit areas of Lousiana when hurricane Katrina hit in August. Critics allege racism as a key factor in the Bush Administration's lackadaisical attitude toward immediate relief.

FEMA Spokesman, Roger Rogerstein, in a televised news conference, accused the Louisiana Lotto of discriminatory activities because 87%-96% of people who purchase their lottery tickets from 2003 to 2005 were all African Americans. "The evidence is clear to see--the winner of this [jackpot] is 100% African American. What about the over 80% of White America who didn't get a sniff of the jackpot? What of them?" Rogerstein demanded.

Sherman was not available for comment but was seen rejoicing in her winnings, the blatant racism of the Louisiana State Lotto completely lost on her as she drove off in her nephew's Ford Taurus.

At print, Hurrican Katrina has been subpoenaed by Louisian Supreme Court on charges filed by the ACLU to explain why she targeted mostly black neighborhoods. Katrina was not available for comment.
