...Our contestant today is Mr. Steve West from Jacksonville, OR! Mr. West, tell us a little about yourself...
"[Well,] I wanted to remain the same person and pretty much keep the same lifestyle that I had, but I've been told by everybody that it's going to change immensely."
Aaahhhh, yyyeah.... Now then, Mr. West, all you have to do to get the big somolians is to give me $40 for this golden ticket!
"I'm not sure I like that. My wife and I keep saying maybe we shouldn't have bought that."
Well, if you insist, Mr. West, then I'm sorry to tell you that you lose the game.
"[My wife and I] said, 'This can't be right, something's not right' and that's all we said all night."
Yes, that's precisely the point, Steve.
Oh, by the way, what do you think? Does this ticket originate from Ray's Food Place or J'ville Tavern?
"I'm not saying."
Mr. West, you do realize that the store with the winning ticket receives a $100,000 bonus, don't you?"
"I'm not saying."
Very well, I give up. You can have the money. All you need to do is tell me if you want the entire $340 million over a 30 year annuity at a tax rate of approximately 25%, or in a single lump sum of $185 million taxed at 38%?
"We'll take the lump sum."
CONGRATULATIONS, STEVE WEST! YOU ARE A MORON WITH MONEY!!!
