College Student Finds Out He Won Mega Millions In The Car On The Way To Talk To His Dad About Getting A Job

NY POST - Forget job-hunting, now he can go house-hunting.

A New Jersey college kid dreading a lecture from his dad about getting a summer job decided to check his Mega Millions lottery ticket — and found out he’d won a cool $1 million.

Tell me if this situation sounds familiar to you: college kid on his way to meet his dad for a little father/son talk about getting a job.  We’ve all been there.  Where we haven’t been is checking our lottery ticket en route to the restaurant and finding out we just won the fucking Mega Millions.

Kristopher Chrysanthopoulos, 20, bought a ticket for the May 28 drawing, but spaced on checking his numbers until two days later when he and his dad were on their way to lunch, New Jersey Lottery officials said Tuesday.

Knowing he was in for the familiar father-son talk about getting summer work, Chrysanthopoulos decided the car ride was as good a time as any to pull his ticket out of his wallet and compare his numbers against the NJ Lottery app.

“Dad, I’ve got five numbers!” shouted the Oceanport student, according to lottery officials.

After Chrysanthopoulos’ dad pulled over the car and confirmed that his son wasn’t playing a prank — or trying to weasel out of a job — they headed to the closest vendor to validate the results.

By matching all five white balls, Chrysanthopoulos netted himself $1 million.

HOWEVER,

Kristopher missing the Mega ball is such a kick in the dick.  I mean a million bucks is obviously nothing to thumb your nose at, but after taxes and everything, you used up your one piece of good luck for the rest of your life for like 500K or whatever the taxes are on this shit.

One Mega ball and it’s 413 million.

One more ball!  In fact I’d rather not even get one number right than get 5 out of 6 balls.  Yeah I said that.  Wouldn’t even want the hassle of thinking what could have been, just avoid the feeling altogether.  What can you even do with 500K in this economy?  It’s like the minimum wage of lottery winnings.  Sure you’ll say that’s just jealousy talking but think what you want.

Also this bum still needs to get a job.
