i don't believe he meant he was going to retire now. he's only 49 and said he will continue to work. 660k would run out in 13 years so i think he is salting it away until he's 62 or older.

I would caution him about going to beaches.

He should make sure he trims his beard real good.

Last time I went to a beach I got a bad infestation of Sand Fleas from my beard dragging in the sand.

mr johnson seems to know what to do, retire. i just hope this money can sustain a descent lifestyle with him being only in his midlife

and with kids...maybe he has other incomes and investments. whichever way, i'm happy for him

Congratulations to Mr. Johnston.

So happy to hear about his win.

Now, I am going to sit back and wait for it............The market is the region's top lottery seller and according to Patel sells more than 90 types of lottery games. Patel said Johnston, who was a regular lottery customer, was one of 33 people who bought that same game that day.
