haha, ticket to heaven..good one

seriously, though, that is amazing and I wish i could say i'd do something like that, but i'm not sure i could...

and yeah, Art, most people report no happiness change afterwards. A lot of people are worse off after they squander away the money. As one friend of mine put it, they don't really know how to handle that much, so it's like a big shopping spree without taking into account the realities of taxes and the hidden fees of having/spending that much money. The ones that take the lumpsum generally are worse off than the ones that take the 20 yr payments...
