@Pre_T_Ty@AmericanAir Yikes! As much as the actual planes are meh, United, Jet Blue, or Southwest have never failed. American and Delta stay playing games.
This still doesn’t tell us what they actually received, which can often differ from what the courts award. Collection issues, attorneys fees, court costs, etc. That dude was a scumbag!
A New Jersey construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION lottery jackpot without telling his coworkers. He had been buying tickets together with them for years as a group. He told them he was taking time off work for foot surgery. He had actually quit to collect his winnings. A year later they found out.
– Americo Lopes was a Portuguese immigrant living in Elizabeth New Jersey.
– He worked as a construction worker and had been buying Mega Millions lottery tickets every week as part of a five-man work syndicate with his colleagues for years.
– In November 2009 he claimed a $38.5 MILLION Mega Millions jackpot and chose the lump sum payout of $24 MILLION after taxes.
– He told his coworkers he needed foot surgery and would be taking time off work. He never went back.
– For nearly a year none of his coworkers knew what had happened to him.
– Then one of them discovered the truth
– Lopes had claimed the jackpot that their group had won together and kept every dollar.
– Five coworkers sued him in 2010.
They provided evidence in court of their longstanding arrangement to pool money and split any winnings equally.
The group had been playing together for years.
– Lopes argued the winning ticket was purchased with his own personal money and had nothing to do with the syndicate.
He said the group arrangement had ended before the winning draw.
– The jury did not believe him. They ruled in favour of his five coworkers and ordered Lopes to hand over $20 MILLION, leaving him with just $4 MILLION of his original $24 MILLION payout.
– He had also already spent a significant portion.
– He had bought a million-dollar home and moved out of his working class Elizabeth neighbourhood within weeks of the win.
– His coworkers each received approximately $4 MILLION after the court order.
A construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION jackpot his work group had won together, told his colleagues he needed foot surgery, and quietly moved into a million dollar house. A jury gave $20 MILLION of it back to the people he stole it from.
Serious question. You can still purchase movies like Singing in the Rain—love it—but what about the Nicholas Brothers dance routines? I want theirs too!
All these face mask videos—am I the only person who doesn’t want any advice from a person that has done anything cosmetic, including Botox, to their face?
@t_streets718@allenanalysis Because he founded a software company decades earlier and already had money. It was a political stunt, not out of sincerity. Meanwhile his ass drastically expanded stop and frisk to the point where a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional.
Is it true that every Republican in Congress voted to merge the US military with Israel?
I have intentionally been avoiding the news for the past week.
Please tell me this is not real.
Screw-worm in the meat.
Cyclosporiasis in the produce.
During a food affordability crisis.
During a massive cut in SNAP & WIC.
Again, elections have consequences.
