True, nowadays I wouldn't even open a lemonade stand without having at least $1,000,000 in liquid assets lol.

I hope he has more saved than just the $10k. (Minus taxes). His business won't get far with just that. I'm not even sure he can get a loan with just that as down payment.

In any event congrats to him! Hope he has fun.

Congratulations to Shong on his nice win.

Hope you have some other moneys to add to your aspirations.

That was a nice win on that virtual poker game.

That game was a bust in Maryland.

That's a fact and if he has to pay taxes on that 10 g he comes away with about 6500 give or take. A shop will eat that in about 2 months if not sooner.

He's better off opening a lawnmower shop. Between rent and tools that 10k won't last long.

Awesome little story, hopefully his business is successful!

I would like to hear more about the game he played, is it like a scratcher or something

Man to use lottery winnings to open new business

Lottery Post — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 16:11:40 GMT

A Dodge City man plans to open his own truck repair shop with money he won playing the Kansas Lottery's Kansas Hold 'Em game.

Lottery officials said in a news release 34-year-old Andew Shong stopped at HD's Sports Bar in Dodge City a couple of weeks ago to grab a beer.

While I was there, I saw these two guys playing Kansas Hold'Em for $2 a hand, Shong said. I knew to win the maximum you have to wager $10 a hand so I told the bartender to give me one draw for $10.
