Win the Lottery and Fire Your Boss


Winner of Mega Million Lottery NumberWinning the lottery is everyone’s dream. Even though the chance of winning the big jackpot is extremely low, people still buy the lottery hoping to win the big payout and be able to fire their boss and live a good life. It pays to dream, literally.

David Sneath of Livonia, Detroit, does not need to dream anymore because he won the $136 million Mega Millions jackpot. When he saw his winning number on the newspaper, his whole body went numb. His sister and daughter thought it was an April Fools joke when he told them of his winning.

Sneath turned 60 on April 1, 2008, the day he won the jackpot.

One of the perk of winning the lottery is to be able to fire your boss. He took advantage of his winning and did just that. After he went to the lottery office to pick up his first million dollar he yelled to his boss, “I’m out of here.”

Sneath usually contribute $6 a week with 4 other co-works to a lottery pool. But this time, his son brought him $15 worth of tickets using combination of numbers Sneath suggested. One of the combination which happens to be the winning numbers - 4, 17, 26, 46, 56, and 25 for the Mega Ball - were numbers Sneath got from a random pick and continues to use it. He plans to take a one-time lump payment worth $84.3 million, or just under $63 million after taxes.

Another perk is to do the things you always thought about doing but could not do because of limitation of money. With his winnings, Sneath plans to get laser surgery to correct his vision, buy a cottage on Mullett Lake in northern Michigan and maybe get a new fishing boat to fulfill his dream of catching the walleye.

As for his co-workers, he is planning to give $1 million to each.

Life is good when you win the lottery.
