A Wonderful Story.

Twenty-eight yrs. ago 2 friends made a pact that if either won the lottery they would split it. They shook on it.

One of them recently won 22 million in a Wisconsin (I believe) lottery. He called his old fishing buddy and they split it.

They took the cash option and ended up with 5 million each.

I read the story on CNN. It's nice to read this thype of story anytime but especially now since everything in the news is a horror show.

If you take a cash payout it's less than if you take it as an annuity.

Hi @CrazyKittyLvr2 ! Thanks for posting this story ! Gives me hope, LOL!

i live in Nevada (no lottery, only casinos) and my sister lives in Texas. I send her a few bucks and when the lotto jackpot is high enough (our agreed minimum), she buys a ticket and, if it hits, we've agreed to split. She sends me a photo of the ticket and the balance I have remaining on my investment. Just waiting for the right numbers!🤨
