A very close friend just won 3.5 million after taxes in the lottery. She so deserves it. Just proof that anyone can win and you need to be in it to win it.

Is she close enough of a friend to buy you a C7? :-)

Nice to hear that Kev, but we're not surprised to hear that someone from the Northern half of the state won (we never get a winning lottery down here )







Is it Krissy? LOL!

Could be but we don't want or expect anything. The only thing we are hoping for is that they will not relocate and leave the area. Just wouldn't be the same without them close by.

Congrats to her. I love that it was a group of workers. As I understand it, they wee a good bunch of people who showed up for work, and didn't claim the prize until their shift was over? most plan on keeping their jobs.
It has to make getting up In the morning a little easier, and hopefully the group stays on, and does the job in such a way as to enjoy it. knowing your bills are covered changes everything I bet.

Please warn your friend that lottery winners become subjects of all kinds of scams, sad stories etc, from people trying to get their money, and to beware of these events. Oh yeah, now take her for a spirited ride down the parkway, and let her understand the beauty of the corvette.

I have warned her and have set her up with a terrific accountant. She does plan on still working. She so deserves this. Just a great person with a heart of gold that helps others all the time.
