won that 319 million dollar lottery prize.

I gotta say they should take their pensions along with them when they leave.

What do you think?

1. Of course.

Winning a lottery should not deprive you of any other benefits you've earned or accrued along the way.

2. Actually only SIX

It was on the news this morning that one of the guys opted out for the week.
He said that he didn't feel lucky that day!
There was a date this morning on 'The Talk' to if the other six should pitch in and give him some of their money.

6. I bet they do something generous.

It could happen!

There's a couple in Northern California who won a huge lottery prize about 15 years ago, and they created a monthly dinner they serve to the poor. They always make really great food and there are no questions asked.
