^^^you reminded me of a story about a new store clerk who accidentally made two lottery tickets with the same numbers on them. Basically printing and exact copy of the ticket the customer wanted. The guy she made the ticket for did not want to buy the extra ticket, so the clerk had to buy it or her cash would have been off compared to lotto ticket sales. Ticket ends up being the winner and they split the pot. Guy lost millions because he didn't want to spend the $5 or whatever to buy the extra ticket.

 

2% big deal

 

I thought that lottery was tacked on as income... o well, shows me how much I know about the lottery

 

i hope hes smart about it

 

tough crowd in here.

 

For sure.

I'm happy for him. I pray that he hires a good financial advisor.
So many lottery winners end up being victims of scams or in debt after a few years.

 

I'll speak for most of us, ''' WHAT I WOULD DO WITH IT IF I WON '''

 

When I hear someone like this winning anywhere close to this much money and saying they're not sure if they'll quit their job at the convenience store, they have no idea how much money they have. It's sad, but he'll probably be swindled out of most of it.

 

I heard someone in MO and then I found out it wasn't me and was heartbroke. Congrats to getting the largest lottery winnings in Missouri history.

 

^ We should have started a pool bud...

 

^ I know with that kinda money I "might" be able to retire early.

 

lol yup...Saw their interview on the Early Show, laughed the entire time

 

That's an awesome story. I wish the dude much luck and happiness as he begins a new chaptor in his life.
Whatever happens, I'm sure he will have one heck of a ride and a lot of fun to boot.

I bet ya he was like Happy Gilmore and insisted on taking the giant check to the bank (in the back of his Ranger, lol)

Dude kinda looks like a skinny version of Bucky.

 

The thing that got me was that he said me "hasnt decided if he's going to quit his $7.50/hr job at the gas station."

 

Don't know if he'll quit the $7.50 an hour job.. What a moron.
