  He sure is.  At 20 I wonder why he didn't take the annuity.  But it's his decision.  Wish him the best.

  I'm checking out his FB page but it is getting hammered so it is very very slow downloading.  He is a very upbeat kid. 

  As to why he didnt take the annuity -- he says he received financial advice so that must have been the advice.

  Mega Millions was formerly known as the Big Game. I wonder why and how they're now 20 years old Redd55?

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!
