No, she's correct. It's $2.8 million dollars gross to be shared between two adults who could each live another 30 years. So, left with approximately $1,652,000 net to give away and share. It's not a lot of money, it is a tidy addition to a prior good retirement fund though. It's a happy win.

Very nice, but its too bad she had to say $2 million isn't much these days. $2 million in one place after taxes is a lot of money. Maybe if you inherited it or won the lottery it doesn't seem like much.

Monkey bread? I sure hope they bake it correctly where you can actually taste the monkey.

A great story .............. better than the Government handing it out ............. people are helped directly and the person giving reaps the greatest reward, the pleasure of helping another person !!!!!

Looking for my opportunity to help others after Tuesday's Mega Millions Drawing

What an uplifting story. My Christmas wish is for Al's heath to improve so they can make that trip to Branson and to Hawaii.

Nancy and Al Mohrbacher lived simple lives in Wisconsin before they won the lottery. And things haven't changed, they said.

Despite the $2.8 million they won earlier this year, they spent the same amount on Christmas presents. They're doing the same things this holiday season that they always do.

The family will come over Christmas morning, and they'll share monkey bread before opening presents and having lunch together.

Our lives are pretty much the same, said Nancy, 67. But it's fun... [ More ]
