that's not his real name in other words, from Louisville, Kentucky, not his real place, in quotes.

Big secret call coming in. So, John, what's your question? Yes, sir. Well, about two years ago, I won one of those multi-state lottery drawings with a group of coworkers.

And I haven't told anyone besides my wife and besides one sibling, no one knows.

How much?

My question for you, after taxes, it was about $22 million.

Holy crap.

Holy crap is the century.

Yeah.

How old are you? It was a lot. I'm edging up on about 50 years old.

Okay. Okay. And so you haven't told anyone and I've got

some guesses but why well the first thing I did when when I found out that a won was

was research and it said you know that you get to read all those one in five people lose

their lottery winnings or go bankrupt within 10 years.

And one of the things they all said was you tell too many people and you get too many people at your door asking for this, that, and the other thing, asking for handouts and expecting you to pay for everything.

So my wife and I made a conscious decision just to kind of keep it under wraps.

And it's kind of, we've kept keeping it under wraps.

We haven't even told our two teenage children.

And now I know that sounds strange, but we just don't want them to grow up to be waiters, you know, waiting for us to die.

So they can get our money.

That's fantastic, man.

I love it.
