Gosh, a paltry 15.5 million each? If I was holding the ticket I would have held out and said it was ALL mine!
Actually, I like it when normal working people win. I just hope they get good council so the money isn't squandered and they can live out the rest of their lives in comfort. I heard a story once of a lady who won the lottery - couple million, not 15.5 - and two or three years later she was right back to where she was before, and actually, even further in debt. She bought everything in sight - like 50 pair of shoes, most of them were never worn - just because she could. Then two or three years later she ended up with a bunch of junk laying around the house of no value, no money in the bank and a huge credit card bill.
Oh, and you can all get ready to congratulate ME next Saturday. Terry just bought a ticket for Friday's Mega Millions - a mere $203 million - and I just KNOW we're going to be the winners!
(yeah right!)
