The Young Millionaire

It’s rare to see young people who win hundreds of millions in the lottery.
Somehow, the average winner in America is usually a senior or a

housewife, but this time twenty year old Shane Missler from Florida,

becomes one of the youngest multi-millionaires in America. Until last
week, Shane was a junior employee at an employment agency, and before

that a salesman at Best-Buy. The winning ticket – one of five he bought

for just ten dollars, and didn’t even make the effort of filling them out but
bought from the lottomat, the machine. Minutes after winning last week he

wrote “Oh My God” on Facebook, but only showed up at the lottery
offices in Florida a few days later with a lawyer, and chose two hundred

and eighty million dollars in cash instead of the full prize – four hundred

and fifty million dollars he could have gotten in installments. The
neighbors are happy for him, and in contrast with the popular advice,

Shane didn’t remain anonymous and publically wrote how he felt he had to

set off on a new path and help humanity. Without a doubt, a rare lottery
winner with a lot of young innocence, and maybe social media will

actually help him, this time with his purpose of doing good for other

people.
