I’ve watched the video many times in the hopes that I could understand what people found so appealing about her story. Dobyne, on the other hand, is now much more. I am an insignificant little speck of dust, a suspicious mole on the rear end of the universe. I don’t even think one million people know I exist, let alone 27 million.
The original version of the interview, posted on Facebook, had more than 27m views at time of writing.
According to the original report, the newsroom at KOTV “had entire newsroom laughing”, which inspired them to put the video online. What elevated this event to burgeoning internet legend is Dobyne, whose interview with Tulsa’s KOTV News went viral in a matter of days. Not exactly the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in terms of newsworthiness or significance, but these sorts of stories are the bread and butter of the local news industry, especially in mid-sized towns such as Tulsa, where the pace of life is significantly more methodical. This week, the world fell madly in love with Michelle Dobyne, a Tulsa, Oklahoma, woman who became famous for an interview in front of an apartment building that had recently caught on fire, leaving the residents without power for a couple days. You’re better off praying for some calamity to befall your neighborhood, especially if you’re black.

Congratulations are in order for the newly minted billionaire, as the odds of winning the prize money stood at 1-in-292.2m, meaning you had a better chance of waking up one day as Ted Cruz, winning the Republican nomination for president, impregnating yourself like in the movie Junior, then giving birth to a clone of Ed Koch than walking away with that cash. Lines of miserable, desperate Americans formed outside of liquor stores, and it wasn’t even Christmas. That astronomical figure worked up normally sane individuals into a frothy mixture of avarice and maniacal delusion. The jackpot hit a staggering $1.6bn before it was finally claimed. Please contact for any inquiry.Mercifully, someone won the Powerball lottery on Wednesday night – a mystery man or woman in Chino Hills, California, a town I’ve probably driven through on the way to Palm Springs and didn’t even notice.
