The word hero is tossed around a lot these days, but there's no other way to describe Jay Vargas, a 21-one-year-old Powerball winner who's using his money to fund a bikini wrestling show.Vargas, who at 19 became the youngest Powerball winner ever, has put part of his $17 million payout toward the development of "Wrestlicious," which features professional wrestling, sketch comedy and lots of scantily clad babes.
When Vargas won the lottery two years ago, he pledged to spend his money wisely. "I didn't have the temptation to go out and buy 15 cars or 50 houses, or a big mansion with 50-plus rooms," Vargas said. "I just want to be comfortable."
So this young entrepreneur packed up and moved from South Carolina to Tampa, Fla., the home of many professional wrestlers, to make his bikini-wrestling TV show dreams come true. In this age of corporate greed, it's refreshing to see a rich guy who wants to give back.
A pilot episode hosted by Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart has been shot and producers are currently looking for a network to pick up the program. How can any network executive resist this promo?

As big of a waste and stupid as it is, I would watch it for laughs; like Manswers or Girls Next Door. Oblivious bimbos boost my ego =]

I think the only TRUE crowd you're going to see watching this show are boys between the ages of 13 and 19. And we "ALL" know the reasons they'll be watching it!!! Aside from them, I can't see anyone with a I.Q. over 50, having to much to do with it!!

Why not do that, If it's fun to do then enjoy a little of your money, you should never run out of money for a lifetime.

Another mindless & cheesey reality show; followed-up with empty headed commentary, such as: BEST use of Lottery money ever! & That was the most amazing thing i've ever seen. Brilliant!, ought to confirm what should be apparent; that entertainment in the USA (if it can be called that) has become the opiate of the masses to escape the realities of life, while the leadership of our land floats our country toward a huge fall, that will plunge the lazy and unaware drifter to a sorry ending. What an absolute waste of money, time and energy this young lottery winner has chosen to focus his attention on... Unfortunately, it seems to be the course of human nature, to be repeatedly foolish and mindless with no sense of value. God forbid that others of like mind should win a lottery...., but we know the odds are against that ever happening...:-)

After watching this video, I can't see how anyone would watch some tasteless crap such as this. You can bet I won't be wasting my time on this crap. Why not use the money that is being wasted on this idea and actually put it to a good cause, such as St. Jude or Battered Women and Children's Shelters. I mean come on do something good and worth while. Maybe something good might come back to ya.

Tell me why the hell should he have to give his money to a damn charity? Its his money so he can do what he wants with it.that's one thing about this country that i can't stand, always good for trying to tell people what to do with their money. Hell tell the Government to take some of that tax money he paid on his winnings and give it to St. Jude...instead of using it for yet another 2 million dollar missile to drop on Baghdad.

If I won the Lottery, First I would put a sizeable amount in a
Charitable Gift Fund, so that I could give in the future to any
Churh or Charitable cause, and still it would earn money until I
actually had the check written to the Charity. I would get the tax de-duction when I invested it so I would actually have more money availabe(At least for Charitable causes) since it would not be taxed when I first collected the Lottery.
Then for things to help my community or Society, I would build a
Teen Center for youths 21 or under and I would charge a reasonable cover charge to enter. It would have a nice dance floor just like some Adult Clubs, and I would serve food and non-alcoholic beverages at a reasonable charge, but the cover charge
and food and Beverage receipts must pay for the operation. This
would allow Teens to go to a place their parents would approve of
and yet shield them from the Night Clubs, with Liquor, Beer and
even some who use drugs at Adult Clubs. The Staff at the Club would be Clean cut youths who could earn money full time or part
time and enjoy the atmosphere. This might take a million or 2 to
acquire the property and get ready for opening.
The majority of my funds would be invested in wise and safe investments so that I would always have plenty. I might buy another house or a dynamite Condo and perhaps a new sports Car
but I would be very conservative with my other Investments.
What do you think of my plan?
Richard

KEEP YOUR DREAM AND WHEN YOU WIN THE LOTERY, SEE IF YOU WOULD REALLY WANT TO DO WHAT YOU SAY.

Damien, Iv'e been to those kind of establishments when I was younger and believe me they were not clean cut. There was drugs and alcohol there anyway. The kids would sneak it in and there would be a lot of gang-bangers hanging out making trouble for the few clean cut kids that actually came. You would have to hire a lot of security to keep track of what goes on and keep the trouble makers away. You would have to use metal detectors to make sure the gang-bangers or any one else didn't have any weapons on them. You would have to work out all of those parameters.
