...when this happens?
 
Give a six year old a loaded weapon... <shrug>

Reminds me of a few weeks ago here in Connecticut, when three investment bankers won the $245,000,000 lottery.

As a gesture of benevolence, they decided to give $1,000,000 to charity.

If you're used to driving a semi rig, a Lambo would be quite a handfull.

But then, a Lambo is a handfull to anyone.

Poor guy . . . :lol:

Couple of points. Typically, Federal and State Taxes on lottery winnings amount to as much as 50%, so they "might" take home half (of 254M, not 245), or 127M. Split three ways it would be $42M each. (But my understanding is, they plan to put it all in a trust).

According to their lawyer, <span style="text-decoration: underline">charities are very high on their priority list</span> and, per an ABC story, "Lewi also said that the trust planned to distribute $1 million to organizations that aid veterans, <span style="font-weight: bold">the first of the philanthropic efforts the trustees hope to support</span>.

So it sounds like this initial $1M to aid vets (thank you very much) is just the beginning of their philanthropy.

I say good on em!
 
That guy better wise up or he's gonna get his license pulled, and as a Truck driver, that makes it rather hard to keep his job.
