Guy Dumped by girlfriend just before winning $30M

Love it

he will probably take her back

Interestingly, he would not have won had she not dumped him. Her action set into motion a series of events that caused him to be at that convenience store at the right time to purchase the winning ticket. Kind of like the 'Butterfly Effect', where a butterfly flaps its wings and causes enormous changes in the world from such a small action.

His best revenge would be to offer to set up a payment to her of -say- $500 a month for life.

It doesn't say why she dumped him. Why are we talking karma when he could have been a womanizing a$$ worthy of being dumped.

:scratchhead:

He did a lot better than King Richard II missing his 20,000 mercenary Welshmen by a day.

If he was a jerk he'll get what's coming to him. Now he will never know if he can be loved for anything other than his currency. The question is, will he care? If he's an extreme case, probably not. If he's a nice guy, well...good karma.

Why are you hating? What if he's a nice guy? Should he always worry that he's only loved for his currency?

Can't say if karma is a b*tch or not, doesn't give a hint at why she dumped him.

He can say karma's a b!tch because she dumped him when he was broke and now he's filthy rich.

(Of course, she might be thinking that HE got hit by the karma bus because of all the problems that come with sudden wealth.)

Then curse me please.

Actually, I only play when the pot get up to around $500M, and then only for $1. The pleasure that I get from thinking what I'd do if I won is more than worth the buck spent.

Question is... Will he hold on to his wealth better than a girlfriend?

One of the first things youd have to do is to figure out how to avoid listening to the tales of woe youd be getting from casual friends, coworkers, neighbors, distant relatives, etc

But might be fun tryin!

i would have to move, my useless f-ing extended family would have pup tents set up in my back yard.
