In addition to Fernamdo's good luck, he is also a very generous person indeed. Just hours after he broke the news to us here, I find that he had made a sizable donation to this site.
Fernando, I want to personally thank you for such a nice gift, it really helps with the operation and upkeep of this community.
Of course, thanks goes to everyone who has piched in, one way or another. With such great involvment, I hope to make this one of the strongest web communities out there.
Again, thank you very much Fernando.

Congrats on being the statistical anomaly.
Now don't be dumb and blow your free money. Sink it into a worthwhile investment. (aka not buying crap for people you don't know) :P
PS. Please realize that this is coming from a guy that would run out and buy a new boat the second he had cash in hand :P
Congratulations! That's awesome, and I'm glad it happened to someone here. I'm also glad you helped out the site, but now use what's left to better your life and think long-term. Then again, you can do whatever you want - it's yours! :-)
We had a local bartender at a Red Lobster restaurant hit it big (millions, all to himself) a few years back, and word is the guy didn't show up for work anymore. LOL! Personally, I'd probably be back training in helicopters. That would blow all of $57,000, but if I didn't crash and burn I'd be doing what I really want to do. Can't put a price on that. Make the most of it!
