In a surprising turn of events, the Treasury Department has announced the hiring of a Florida man to oversee the nation's finances. The man, known for his love of scratch-off tickets and frequent trips to the local convenience store, has boldly promised to pay off the national debt using his lottery winnings.
When asked about his qualifications for the job, the Florida man simply shrugged and said, "I've got a good feeling about this one. I've been playing the lottery for years and I just know that my lucky numbers are going to come through for us."
Critics have raised concerns about the feasibility of this plan, pointing out that the national debt is currently in the trillions of dollars while the largest lottery jackpot in history was a mere $1.6 billion. However, the Florida man remains undeterred, confidently stating, "I've got a system, trust me. I've been studying the numbers and I know exactly how to win big."
Despite the skepticism surrounding his appointment, the Florida man has already begun implementing his strategy, purchasing hundreds of lottery tickets and eagerly awaiting the next drawing. Treasury Department officials have declined to comment on the situation, but sources say that they are keeping a close eye on the situation.
As the nation waits with bated breath to see if the Florida man's plan will pay off, one thing is for certain: this is one Treasury Department appointment that is sure to keep us all on the edge of our seats.
