re: Girl in my small town won 300k lottery and left with the money

The road goes on forever and the party never ends.

with 300k you can run... but you can't hide forever

You can hire a lot better lawyer than a gal without $300k, though.


Let's say it comes out to $200k after taxes... that's like 10 years in wages for this chick. I've had coworkers who I am friends with, but not sure if I'd give up 5 years' income for them.

ETA: after subsequent reading, the real winners will be the bumpkin lawyers who represent these dumb-arse girls.

Lucky lives up to his name when it comes to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. To spread some holiday cheer, he bought a roll of scratch offs from G&B Liquor Store for his waitresses.

"She handed me five and she had five," Underwood said. 

Vanhouten scratched off a $300,000 Fortune instant ticket, worth $10, and won the top prize. Since they work the same shift, she and Underwood would each get $150,000.

Bonus points - the woman who was left high and dry has 5 kids, and the restaurant has been awarded both "Best Burger in Town" and "Best Place to Work"

If they didn't have a contract drawn up then there ain't shite the other woman can do about it.

And sure, I would hit it.

Not sure all contracts have to be written to be enforceable. I recall sharing lot-tree tickets and grass-cuttin businesses as two prime examples in Simon/Breaux B-Law classes

I. Elements of a Contract:

Offer
A proposal made by one party (the offeror) to another party (the offeree) indicating a willingness to enter a contract.
Acceptance
The agreement of the offeree to be bound by the terms of the offer.

The law presumes that anyone entering a contract has the legal capacity to do so. Minors are generally excused from contractual responsibility, as are mentally incompetent and drugged or drunk individuals
Legality

People fricking suck.



she is going to use it to "make her life easier."

I almost guarantee you that she will ultimately have more hardships than she had before.

Hey man, if you like greasy stakes and $8 cheese fries and waitresses that have marathon mileage on them, Sportsman is your place

Honestly, I don't go there because I had a thing with Luckadoos cousin and she goes there a bit. Avoiding the drama

I love the old school Schlitz sign in front of the bar. How many decades has it been since they served Schlitz???

Is Mandy related to Leslie Van Houten?
