must begin living on a stricter budget. A local news story on the
lottery influences Peter to buy a ticket in hopes that he will win and
set the family on a better financial platform. Peter reveals to his
family that he has bought several thousand lottery tickets, admitting
that he has taken out a second mortgage on the house in order to buy
them. After watching the results of the lottery that night, they spend
three days searching for the lottery tickets, only to discover that
the lottery tickets were, in fact, printed by Peter. When the real
batch arrives, they discover that they have indeed won it. The family
are unable to decide how they should spend all the money, though Lois
states that she does not want it to change their lifestyle. Defiant,
Peter decides to begin living lavishly, and quits his job.After Peter
agrees to invest in Quagmire's projects and gives money to Joe for
Bonnie's birthday, Peter demands that they hang out with him in order
to pay him back, and perform random, often painful or humiliating
tasks. Joe brings the first season of True Blood to show Peter boob.
He shouts at joe for not knowing that "Anna Paquin boob doesn't count
as real boob", then shouts at Anna for being on a terrible show. Peter
tells Quagmire to take a huge bite out of a Popsicle, which leaves him
in agony. Quagmire and Joe finally get fed up with Peter's demands and
both decide to end their friendship with Peter when he makes them both
perform a musical duet on "making whoopie" for his entertainment and
shoots them with a BB gun, causing Joe to get shot in the eye and
Quagmire getting shot in the throat. Peter continues to spend the
money with no regard, and Lois warns him that he is changing for the
worse, along with the other family members. Peter tells her that they
no longer have to worry about expenses, and presents her with a blood
diamond, winning her over. When they go to a restaurant, Peter
discovers his credit card got declined, and his money disappeared.
After buying more lottery tickets, winning again, and then blowing it
again, the family is distraught over losing their fortune, and Peter
returns to the local bar later that day to repair his friendship with
Joe and Quagmire. He admits that the money caused him to forget who
his real friends are; Quagmire and Joe accept his apology, and offer
him money from the investment that he had given them. The family then
goes back to living comfortably at their home in Quahog, despite being
depressed over having everything and then losing it. Lottery Fever Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
