That's one unlucky 'best friend' who was playing with him!

 

Hm, that's the one I planned on hitting on my upcoming trip.
And now it'll only grow 300k each month.
Oh well, I'll find a way to make 11 mil last :evillaugh

 

I'm a terrible person... of the top 100, 250... 1000 things I would do with those winnings, neither of those 2 would be on it.

 

Sure I would give some to charity, but man the whole thing, 14.3 million would make one hell of a church!

 

Maybe he is his own church, like the Duggars.

 

The church and charity gig might just be a clever ploy to keep people away!

 

I never see them explain how these jackpot winnings are paid out. Is it $14 million over 20 years or more? Does he get less for a lump sum payment??

 

lump and 40-50% tax off the top

 

If you're factoring in the annuity calculation taking home 40% sounds closer.

By default, the advertised payout is a 25-year annuity, which is another big reason NOT to play these machines.

I'll see your 1000 things and raise you another 1000!
