One good thing is that he can finally afford to replace his DIY fire alarm.

Seratt's first official purchase with the winnings was a 1987 Chevrolet truck'.

I reckon that's his dream car: 1987 Chevy truck 1-ton-4x4

Some similarities to the late David Edwards.

My first thought after finishing the article is that it sounds a lot like David Lee Edwards, but starting with a lot less money.

first thing he does is buy a 32 year old truck!

Maybe he spent a fair amount of money on a truck that was thoroughly restored, but if he spent a pittance on an old truck that might be a good sign. He could easily have gone out and bought a brand new truck that cost 50k, but with a fairly modest win that would pro... [ More ]

Timothy Seratt needs to be careful with the friends he keeps. I would think that his wife will have something to say if he strays from the correct path.

He is young and can invest for the long haul. I agree that a steady income from the Stock Market is possible.

I will say a prayer for him and his family to not be another David Lee Edwards.

Congrats on the win.

He just won $2 mil ($1.3 mil after taxes) and first thing he does is buy a 32 year old truck

Some similarities to the late David Edwards. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself with him.

BTW congratulations on your big win

So, I'd like to invest and keep going and not just blow of all it, blow through it.

Ya never know . . but speculating this guy lacks fiscal discipline and will rapidly piss it away !

$1.3 million invested in VWEAX would presently yield around $6,000 monthly dividends before taxes.

Budgeting those dividends to pay taxes, food, domicile, transportation, and recreational drug expenses would definitely take some of the load off .

Includes video report

Timothy Seratt has lived paycheck to paycheck his whole life. Born and raised in Dyersburg, the 32-year-old father of two has never flown on a plane or been north of Kentucky.

But now, after winning the lottery, he's a millionaire.

Seratt won $2 million dollars playing a Mega Millionaire Jumbo Bucks scratch-off this week, taking home $1.3 million after taxes.

It's still crazy, he said. Well, I mean I've never owned a house. So, I mean that's the first thing.... [ More ]
