I can finally say I know a millionaire........

well almost a millionaire, our neighbor 3 homes down from us just won 935,000.00 dollars in a lottery. So happy for him......he's just a guy, divorced, has a son who lives 3 hours away, his dog died a couple of years ago, and he's just a good neighbor. We are so happy for him, I did ask him to buy me a new car, he laughed and said he'd think about it. We're just happy for him. He's been playing the lottery for a long time, and said if ya don't play ya don't win.

At least he can afford to feed it!

Actually, I know a guy who came into a similar sum. After paying off the IRS, he gave his two siblings $100,000 each because they hadn't been as lucky. He ended up netting less than half the "original" sum, but with one happy family!
