Man wins lottery two days after divorce
 

An Indiana man has won a million dollars on a state lottery two days after divorcing his wife after he found her in bed with a neighbour.

The Hoosier Gazette says Randy Fletcher's sudden good luck came in a year which has so far seen him lose his wife, vintage car, and pet dog.

He found his wife Tara in bed with a neighbour when he came home from work feeling sick in January.

Then in March a deer ran into his 1956 Chevy, and in May his German Shepherd dog Molly was diagnosed with cancer and put down.

He thought he had lost his life savings when his divorce from Tara came through on July 15 after a four-year marriage.

But two days later he found he had won the million dollar jackpot in the lottery he had been taking part in twice a week for several years.

Fletcher, an electrician from Brownstown, said: "I was in complete shock for several hours.

"It took me several minutes to catch my breath. It was the most unbelievable and amazing feeling I have ever had, especially after all that had happened this year."

Although he will only take home 289,000 dollars, or 157,225 pounds, after going for the cash option and paying off taxes, he says he plans to use the money to buy a Harley Davidson, a new German Shepherd dog, and go on holiday to Cancun this winter.

Asked what advice he would give to others who were having a run of bad luck, he said: "Just keep plugging away. Sooner or later things will look up. I am a prime example of that."

FULL STORY

I would rent 6 escorts, pay extra to film me fucking all 6.

and mail that bitch the tape of the bitches and me rolling around in the money fucking.

It's great that he won, too bad the feds raped him of most of his winnings. :helpme

Finaly the little man won:2 cents:

Karma owns :glugglug

hehe :thumbsup

good story

Double win!!! Freedom with money!!!:1orglaugh

congrats to that guy. That would never have happened to me because if i had a run of bad luck like that i dont think i would have the nerve to buy a lottery ticket, plus i would be in jail for shooting that bitch and my neighbor:2 cents:

I hope he has a smile from ear to ear! :Graucho

Wow ! Thanks for sharing It's nice to see that somebody gets a load of good luck after that run !


My lastest bad luck is in my sig !

wow

that's a double celebration :1orglaugh

yeah but he gets "FREE" health insurance...:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Welcome to America :winkwink:

Thats fucking pathetic.

haha !! Awesome :thumbsup

Wow, it's the new American dream! :1orglaugh That's almost as good as that guy in New Jersey who found high-grade emeralds in his backyard.

yeah no kidding!...they took like 70% of the million dollar! :helpme

that is what we called, wheels of fortune

double winner!!!
:)
really win-win situation- alone and free ...with full wallet of easy money and... Harley! I guess this guy took several nice months:))

:banana

Man that fucking SUCKS that a million bucks comes out to less than $300k when all is said and done.

Aside from that, great story! Imagine if it had been the day BEFORE the divorce was final - she would get $150k!

Darwin wins again:thumbsup

lucky guy :)

In all fairness, the feds didn't take 70%. He chose the cash option instead of payments, which took a huge chunk of the million right there. Of course, taxes ate their fair share, for sure.

I'm happy for the guy. That's great that it happened after the divorce so his cheating wife couldn't get her dirty mitts on any of it. Hehe.

I'd send my ex-wife a 1 cent check.

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. When you win a large lottery prize, they give you the option of taking the entire prize in yearly payments (for example, $50K a year for 20 years) or a lesser, lump sum cash prize.

occupational hazard

I don't get it

I'm glad the man had some good luck, after the Stuff he went through.


bet he miss' s his dog more than his wife.

Exactly. Why did he choose the cash option, I wonder. Almost everyone here jumped to blame the government instead of the guy's choice. Sounds like he doesn't make good decisions but I guess it's still a cool story.

He will be down in the gutter in no time if he starts blowing his money out of the window. It keeps amazing me that people start spending when they have more money. Investing 250K$ in a nice 4plex will get you $$$ for the rest of your life:)

thats makes me so happy to hear the woman lost out... scratch one for the men

Wow... look at all these stupid people who's blaming the government. Pathetic or should I say, typical. :1orglaugh

Good story!

:thumbsup

I'd give my left nut to have seen the expression on the wife's face when she found out :1orglaugh

Nice story,well congat's to that guy who won the lottery, after the heartaches that he found out to his wife, I think he's the luckiest guy after all what happen ed to him.:1orglaugh

Here's hoping he bought the ticket AFTER the divorce was finalized....
