Now you can tell everyone who says "well you can't win if you don't buy a ticket..." to gently caress off because she didn't ever buy a ticket. She literally didn't play the lottery, she just showed up to work and had it handed to her. She was still a billion times more successful at winning than someone that bought a pile of tickets. It's so awesome.

That being said, now I'm sad that no one is going to use the money to blow up the moon.

I bet they'll do okay:

quote:

One Powerball winner down, two to go.

The $327 million Powerball ticket belonging to a small-town Tennessee family was verified Friday as one of the three winners sold as the jackpot soared to a record $1.6 billion.

John and Lisa Robinson of tiny Munford, Tenn., arrived walking the family dog at the state lottery office in Nashville — and left with their instant fortune confirmed.



...

Both insisted they are going to work on Monday — Lisa to her job at a dermotologist’s office, and John at his position in information technology.

...

The first order of business with the family’s newfound fortune: pay off their daughter’s student loans. After that, they’ll tithe heavily to their church, John Robinson said.

But their daughter has one special request.

“My very first thought was I always wanted a horse, so I get a horse now,” she said.

They gon' git Whitakker-ed.

And man, what kind of lawyer would recommend publicity so soon? You'd want them legally and financially fortified and prepared to disappear like they'd just assassinating a sitting congressman. But this rear end in a top hat recommends they find a national morning news program right away? He's got to be working an angle. Setting them up to need his lawyering, which because of all the added complexity assuredly is at a higher, more appropriate, rate.

They are already buying a horse because, "I've always wanted one..."

I can't imagine going back to work would be a good idea at all either.

Are there any stories of actual good outcomes from winning the lottery? Or are they never written about because the people disappeared.

These poor people think their "friends" from work and their small town church acquaintances are a real support system that can continue after they have 1/3 of a billion dollars

It's going to hit hard when people turn on them and they feel isolated

Also "buying a horse" will feel really good now, but in a short time they'll have to buy more and more stuff to recapture that feeling and they will all end up with Donald trump hair and fake tans and get a divorce and the daughter will end up in rehab
