I've blogged before about how the idea of winning the lottery is exhilarating and terrifying, but my heart was warmed today when I read an article about a 23-year-old farmer from Winner, South Dakota, who bought $15 in lottery tickets and won the $232 million Powerball.
I hope he knows what he's in for when trying to figure out how to spend all of that money. It sure doesn't buy happiness--not in the least bit--but he seems to be a nice guy who has his heart in the right place. Being able to buy some land of his own and not having to worry about how to pay the bills will likely be a very different experience for him. Here's to the cowboy from Winner.
