I saw him on a internet interview.
People in the audence were asking him all kinds of dumb questions.
He looked like he was still in a state of shock knowing he's one of two winners in the record of the highest USA lottery.($390,000,000.00)
If I was him,I wouldn't have answerd all these questions.
Well maybe the one that asked him what he was going to do with so much money.
I'd just say,why you big dummy what do you think I'm going to do with it?
I'm going to spend it,why does anybody waste their hard earned money on lottery tickets?
The only other thing I'd say was SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Yep, what do you think anybody is going to do with over $80 million after taxes! His mother said that he was shaking so bad that they sent him home from work.

Good for him. I read he took the lump sum and will get over 80 million after taxes. Not a bad payday.

If you think about his winnings,as much as it is the lottery is ripping him off.
He already paid taxes on the money he bought the tickets with.
Half of 390 million is 195 million.
So by taking a lump sum,and also paying taxes on the rest.
He gets about one third of what he was owed.
The real winners are the states that raked in all of the money from all the people that spent their pre-taxed money on tickets.

Again I'm not saying he's bad off for his small investment,but I feel he still got gipped by the lottery.
