Happy? Nope, they all looked
like they were at
a funeral. A friend that was in on it told me later that they each got a
little over $3000 after tax.
But for the rest of their lives, they will have missed $10 - 15 million apiece
by 1 number.
I can't think of a better reason to not play the lottery than that!

Call me a Pollyanna, but I would've taken my three grand, said "thank you
very much", and shut the **** up about it.
