I suspect after taxes, and who knows what else he won't be a millionaire anymore. He'll probably only have eight or nine hundred thousand dollars left. But still should be plenty of money to change his life.
Now the question is; will he be stupid or smart with the money. I find it very interesting how many people who suddenly come into a lot of money, via lotteries or what not, are broke again in just a few years. It is awfully easy to burn through a large amount of money and suddenly find oneself in a financial world of hurt. But WOW, I suspect a wild ride is ahead. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
