This sounds like a plot to the latest Tuna, Texas play, but as Dave Barry says, you can't make up stuff like this.

Bryon and Barfbara Woods won the $49 M Texas lottery in July, 2003. And so they drove by the run down Tee Pee Motel in Wharton, TX, Barbara exclaimed, "I always wanted to stay there!" bypassing Diamond Head, Paris, France, and Alaska in one breath, and as they say, the rest is history.

The website provides more details. I thought it would be interesting to use this as an example of Break Even Target Profit in Chapter 6 this summer in cost accounting. I mean, you only get so many chance to camp out at the Tee Pee. 

Surprise, it has proven to be a hit with all sort of groups celebrating nostalgia!
