Give him a high-five from all of us!

It would have to be a rush finding sudden, and basically unearned wealth by chance, especially if you basically had none before. I'm glad for the guy, hope he uses it as wisely as one can in his position.

He should first learn about Jack Whitacre, the WV guy who won a few years ago.

He might want to forfeit the winning ticket after reading Jack's story.

Lottery winners stories usually end poorly. Sudden, unearned wealth is a recipe for disaster, in most all cases.
