The guy seems to be very humble and I hope that the money doesn't ruin him or his loved ones.

Good for him and like what he said afterwards. It's nice to see such a young guy with so much life and opportinty ahead of him win that kind of money.

Nice story. Just curious, Nick - can you give an example of someone who has won the lottery that 'didn't deserve it'?

I few months back a pedophile/registered sex offender won the lottery, about 7 or 8 million (I think it was in Wisconsin) I'd say that qualifies as someone who people aren't happy to see win.

The lord had nothing to do with it. How stupid.

What a great story. Got to love a guy who talks to his horse. But I'd advise the neighbor, Dave Assman, to get a name change!

I hope so too, but I think the odds are against it. Even if he can keep his head screwed on tight through all this, the pressure from family, friends and strangers will be enormous.

Hey Neal, will you marry me?:)

What a great story. I really hope that he uses the money wisely. It is great to see someone win it that can use the money especially in this economy
