HE HAS MY MONEY DAMMIT!

Castellano told the San Jose Mercury News that he bought his ticket Saturday at a local liquor store, letting the machine pick the numbers. On Sunday he awoke at dawn, brewed coffee, and plucked his ticket from the refrigerator where it was posted with a magnet.

He sat down to read the paper and began matching the numbers, one by one.

"Now, what's going on here?" he said to himself. "Is this real? I can't believe it."

im surprised he didnt have a heartattack!!!

danny~!

It's good to see that he's doing something honorable with the money though. It's people like that who deserve to win.

 

[FettsBabe]

Good for him. Now I wish I would win

 

[Tripleshot]

Glad to see the hard working stiff get a break. good for the Latino faction as well.I believe the winner said he was an active supporter of a group that honors latino soldiers from WWII. That cause may now have a benafactor.
Happy days! Congratulations to the couple who won. (and a quick pick,too!)

That's not nice to say. He's just lucky, that's all.

How long before he sends the Mrs back to Tijuana and hooks up with some young arm candy?

 

[Bozo Galora]

these are actual numbers as posted by TV a.m.:

chance of winning: 1 in 41,000,000
&quot;Jackpot (phoney)&quot; $141,000,000
Thr &quot;retired Grocery Worker&quot; took in one lump sum=
$70,800,000 which becomes
$40,200,000 after taxes
or, &quot;the amazing shrinking jackpot&quot;

Note also if picking yearly payouts, that after 20 years at a low 6% inflation the $141 mill also reduces by half in purchasing power.
The state buys an annuity in this case at a fraction of what they have to pay out.

 

[Optimus]

Good for him!

So the government takes $100,000,000 away in this case. huh

[MrCodeDude]

I so want to drive to San Francisco, meet that guy, and take his money I'm not going to, but I'd sure love to have some of that money

Imagine the weight of $100,000,000 all in $100 bills. That's over 1000 pounds in my calculation.
