I'm not sure how many of you got involved with the whole lottery mania that went on.

I'm not going to do a hand raise on it, but a story that I heard from a couple of years

ago, an elderly gentleman bought a ticket and soon after he bought a ticket, this was

at one of the lotters worth hundreds of millions of dollars, soon afterwards he developed

this heart problem he was sent to hospital by doctor ordered strict bedrest and nothing

that would create a lot of excitement, so you can imagine his family's reaction when

they found out he had the winning number and so they pleaded with a doctor to tell him

and the doctor was convinced the excitement would kill him, so but he just the doctor finally

agreed that he'd go talk to the guy and talk to the patient himself and he would approach

the matter very gently so he wouldn't shock him, so he casually said you know if you ever

want a lottery and how would you feel about that and the guy said you know nice, fine,

but you know it's fine if I do, fine if I don't, but I'm an old man that you know it doesn't

matter so much if I win or not and the doctor said oh come on you know that you couldn't

feel that, well you'd be excited right and the guy said no not really said you know

if I won I'd probably give half to you so you can find a way to help me feel better, I

mean that would view how I would I want to do and the doctor said oh no no that's very

hard to believe and the guy said really I would, so the doctor said kind of half jokingly

well why don't you write a letter saying you'd give me half and the old guy agrees is sure

why not so fubally sits up and he's writing this letter agreeing to give half as when he

signs it he hands it over and when the doctor looked at the sign letter he got so excited

about the idea of getting all that money that he fell down dead on the spot he died this

is the story, so with the moral of that story I don't know I have no idea what the moral

...
