Get laid off Tuesday; win the lottery Wednesday

How sweet is that?

17 co-workers to share $7 M. (No taxes on lottery winnings here either.)

I might know some of them too.

Why the hell didn’t that happen to me when I got laid off over two years ago?

:(:frowning:

In a way, I would be disappointed if this happened to me.

You don’t get to quit your job in a spectacular fashion.

Well, in this case, you wouldn’t anyway; the take is only about $400K apiece. Not “quit your job” money.

Still, as far as “tide you over 'til you get another job” money, it’s not shabby at all.

Pay off the mortgage. Pay off the car loans. Pay off your credit cards. Party like it’s 1999 for a week or two.

Yeah, I could handle that.
