    My neighbor across the street won the lottery after finding out one of his old lottery cards was actually a winner! Wish I had this luck!

    He's actually one of the nicest guys in the neighborhood. Always a smile and a good word. His family has been thru hell in the past year including losing his 16 year old daughter very suddenly. I just heard that his house was getting ready to go into foreclosure so his smile has really gotten larger!

    Sounds like a guy well deserving of the windfall.

    Sometimes luck happens to the one really deserving it.
    Not always the case....

    Just wondering....how much would it cost to play every possible combination in the upcoming Power Ball. The jackpot is going to be over a half BILLION gross!!

    That's great! It makes me feel so much better about my occasional contributions to the "tax on the naïve".
    I also hope he will be well advised.

    Does the neighbor have any interest in exotic cars?

    I'm sure you'll keep us posted.

    Opens an interesting question: What would you/anyone buy with that kind of money?

    I'd probably just go for the F12 and be done with it.
