Massholes know the best time to work on scratch tickets is behind the wheel

The Cambridge Chronicle reports a guy working on a scratch ticket while driving his Jeep down Mt. Auburn Street on Aug. 31 plowed into a utility pole, which then fell on four people. The driver was also injured when his Jeep landed on the driver's side. On a positive note, the guy won $100 from the ticket - which should help pay for his legal costs - the paper reports.

Hi, this is the editor of the Watertown TAB. I don't put my print edition to bed till tomorrow morning. I haven't come up with a great print headline for this one yet. Any suggestions?

Also, small correction to Adam's headline: The crash happened at 9:15 p.m.

Thanks for the headline suggestions.

After thinking about it, since several people were pretty badly hurt, I decided to go against an attempt at humor. I'll probably go with something straight-forward like "Driver loses control while working on scratch ticket"
