Awesome!
I still remember years ago when I was in high school, one night my parents pulled me into the living room and told me to sit down. I thought it was one of those "parental" talks, but they had big smiles on their faces. So, I say down and my mom told me to try to remain calm while they told me what they were about to say. Long story short, they hit the lottery. And they hit it fairly big. Turns out, the lottery was $13 MILLION. Thats right, million. 10 other people hit it as well though, so it was split and taxes sever a HUGE chunk of it. I believe, in the end, it came to like $400k for each winner. The best part about it, nothing changed. My father had a pool put in the backyard, but that was about it. I think most of it is still invested.
Pretty cool though. Thats the kind of news everyone always likes to hear.
