He loves his job so much then he should give his co workers $1,000 cash eachApprove

$5. 85 an hour sucks!

It was 5.85 pounds an hour. That's a bit over $11.50 an hour. When I worked at McDonald's I was only getting  $3.35 an hour.

The problem is being sued by anyone. He is very visible. He may find a normal life is impossible. Lottery winners get sued and robbed often if they are known.

Well, great for him!  Perhaps, he will become supervisor -- then a manager. Who knows, he might want to invest in a McDonald's franchise.

For me, I would attempt the latter: a franchise invesment -- if it is affordable. He is young and he can afford to take risks!

See Ya!-- Bye, bye!  When you win, may you glow as brightly as theSun Smiley

If he loves working at McDonald's so much, why doesn't he just buy a franchise?  I hope after all this publicity, McBurglar doesn't find out and we'll need to call McGruff the crime dog.

I agree with you.

KyMystikal, you stated that "money can't buy happiness." Since you did not take a poll of all Americans or all the people in the world, your generalization is not valid. 

What is happiness to one person -- may not be happiness to another person. Of course, good health is usually considered by most people to be worth more than any amount of money. However, we know of individuals who can afford the best of health care that money can buy...the medical teams would be  salivating and with blushing cheeks to work on and to work with Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, etc.

There are plenty of miserable, poor people existing from day-to-day, here in the US, and abroad. Money should be a tool for one's enjoyment and money should be able to provide a sense of freedom!

See Ya!-- Bye, bye!  When you win, may you glow as brightly as theSun Smiley

Nobody would buy a Mcdonalds franchise, that's disgusting. If your'e going to network market then you should franchise something like a white castle or a arby's or something like that. With millions of dollars Mcdonalds should be beneath you.

rubberbandman, the only reason I mentioned McDonald's franchise is because he seemed to enjoy working there: sure, he could have gone to Arby's or White Castle to work -- before his winnings or after his winnings. Only he can answer that question.

However, you do have a point. I did not think of Arby's or White Castle for a franchise investment. Thanks for reminding me to think outside of the box!

See Ya!-- Bye, bye!  When you win, may you glow as brightly as theSun Smiley

I hope he doesn't eat there.  Those big macs does a number on your heart and waist.  My bet is he would not say long there. Most likely go back into retirement or look for another job.
