Now, he's rich!

My favorite one was from upstate New York, where another working stiff played the lottery with some of his co-workers. He also bought his own tickets, and won big - $42M if I remember correctly - on one of those. Then he gave each of the other guys half a million of his winnings, so they didn't feel completely 'so near and yet so far way' out of luck.

ReplyDeleteAfter taxes, he might be able to afford a small house in LA County!
