It seems oddly coincidental to me that the media is taking pains to tell us that money can't buy happiness just as the middle class is starting to realize that the Republican kleptocrats are determined to destroy them.

It nice that people who really need it win. I would rather have someone like that then someone with money who wouldn't appreicate it. That being said, most of the idiots who do win waste and blow their money cause thye have no idea about managing it.

$120 before taxes. It's complete bullshit you win that kind of jackpot and you don't even clear $100 million!

i doubt that old man has much to spend it on though.

and his 3 sons sound like they need the money. 2 lost their jobs a year ago and one hasnt had a vacation in 30 years

why?

if she's 20 and a single mom, she's trash anyways. she'd probably use the money to start a record label or something.

this way, 3 generations of family are taken care of.
