$190 mil? What a lie. If they took the lump sum it was $80 mil. - pre tax.

At age 68, he’d better take the lump sum, the other option is 26 annual payments, he’d be 94 when he received his last payment, if he made it that long.

$80 mil is a chunk of pre tax money but it sure as heck is not $190 mil.

Washington state will use the money it makes from the lottery towards higher education, Kinney said.

Yet one more lie in the story.

If Washington is like every other state that participates, it goes into the general fund, ostensibly to allocated to education. What they then do is replace already allocated money with the lottery money and call it a done deed.

I'm still happy for these folks, I listened to the audio and they sound sensible.

Ok...I’ve read the story, followed every link in this thread and I still can’t figure out what this guy winning the lottery has to do with Glenn Beck. What am I missing?

They seem like nice folks. I hope the lottery winning doesn’t wreck them like it has other people.
