Funny


I was watching this show on TV where lottery winners search for homes.  This man won $9 million dollars when he bought a $1 ticket.  He lives with his male partner.  The heartwarming thing was that he decided to buy a house for himself and his partner for $420, 000 and one for his sister for $210,000.  He also allowed his mom to retire.  Too often people will end up losing all their winnings over time.  I think this man is smart and values his family and friends.

    Yes, it's good to see people investing their money wisely. Love the tomorrow quote, I can so relate to it! We seem to have the same weather here as you! Hugs, Valerie

    He obviously cares deeply about his family. That is a really nice story.

    I love reading stories where people are generous, rather than horde it for themselves for a big Harley or something.

    That is so funny, re: tomorrow. :)

    Good for him. The older I get the more I find out - I don't need much at all to be happy - so different from when i was younger raising a family. I can't remember the last time I bought anything for the house. If I won that kind of money I would definitely help people but also have a grand time traveling.

    It's always good to be a wise stewart of our money, whether little or much. This man made some wise choices.

    I'm glad he was humble with it. Idiots would buy an 8 million house with 9 million earnings

    It is amazing how some folks blow through their winnings. Whoosh, and it's gone.
