Congratulations! That is awesome!! I hope you use it for something exciting!!
Thanks to everyone for the congratulatory messages. A detail that I didn't share was the fact that when I entered that night I was at a friends house whom I had been friends with since we were 7. His wife had just left him and their two children that just turned 4 and 6. He is also a farmer and let his crops go this summer and got himself into financial trouble. We made a pact that night that if either of us won we would give each other 10% of our after tax earnings. He recently got an eviction notice... Today I showed up with the money which turned out to be almost enough to pay his back rent. Then my husband emptied his wallet... I'm always barely scraping by it seems. I've never been in a position to help a friend in need--and nothing has ever felt better.
