Man Splits $22 Million Lottery Winnings With His Best Friend by damiloladuke: 1:36pm On Jul 27, 2020 |
A Wisconsin man who won the $22 million lottery in June 2020 has decided to split his winnings with his best friend after he made a promise to him 30 years ago. In 1992, two best friends, Thomas Cook and Joseph Feeney, promised each other that if anyone wins the lottery, they will split the winnings equally, 50-50. They did not write a formal contract but simply shook hands after making the deal. In June 2020, decades after they made the promise, Thomas Cook of Elk Mound won the Powerball jackpot after purchasing a lottery ticket from a gas station in Menomonie. After winning, Cook contacted his friend Joseph Feeney. At first, Feeney thought Cook was joking because the pair would buy lottery tickets every week with no luck. Both men have agreed to take home $16.7 million and will receive $5.7 million each after federal and state taxes. Both men are retired and say they plan to go on vacation. They also said they have many other plans to spend the money but want to have more quality time with their children and grandchildren. “We can pursue what we feel comfortable with, I can’t think of a better way to retire.” Cook said The gas station where Cook bought the ticket has also received $100,000 for selling the lottery ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49SXZAbYTTg https://lailasnews.com/man-splits-22-million-lottery-winnings-with-his-best-friend/ lalasticlala 2 Likes 2 Shares

thesicilian: You would think so but how many nations do you know of where stealing pant for fetish exist? How many nations have the young men between ages 16 - 45 being career fraudsters? How many societies do you know in which lecturers, policemen, judges, doctors, civil servants, clerics relish, and actually thrive by corrupt practices? 1 Like |
