Mega SenaThinking of the Future
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007How often do you think about the future? How often do you worry that something terrible will happen? How often does the thought cross your mind, “Twenty seven years from now, the $3,000,000 a year are going to stop coming. Then what will we do?”
For all we know, these are the thoughts of brothers T.J. and Bernard Adcock, recent winners of an $82.5 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot. The brothers chose to collect annual payments of over $3 Million a year for the next twenty-six years.
T.J. went right over to Bernard’s and said, “I need to talk to you.” “Oh Lord, what’s the matter now?” Berny thought. Once outside, T.J. said, “I think we got a problem man.”
And frankly, I was thinking T.J. was thinking about year 27 when all the money stopped coming, because, frankly, I can’t think of what else he could have been referring to as a problem.
The brothers picked the numbers from an Easy Pick ticket the week before that didn’t win. Second time lucky. Just goes to prove that everyone – or every number – or every set of numbers – deserves a second chance.
