(he) always had faith that he'd hit it big someday.LOL, doesn't this describe 95% of all lottery players?
Is his tour over, or is he going back?

Will the military discharge him?
I heard of a girl that hit the CA lottery while in the AF who was administratively discharged. The reason was rumored to be that the military didn't expect an enlisted person that was previously earning $2k a month to be capable of, or motivated to, properly fulfilling their duties when suddenly presented with such great wealth.
Anyone else heard of this?
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Heh! And he can't just up and quit his job like I would. Well, he has the option of sitting pretty soon enough.
WOO HOO!

The divorced father of two said the big bucks will help get him out of bankruptcy A guy who is not only in bankruptcy, but buys lottery tickets in spite of it?
He will be broke again in less than 5 years.

He can get out by telling his CO that he is is gay.

Could be that they would do a discharge...But while $143,000/yr is really good money, but it isn't (if he's smart) the mind-changing sudden wealth that several million in a lump sum would be.

But Pat turned down the money, right? He didn't actually have the money, did he?
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Oh yeah - that's never been tried

Couldn't have happened to a better American.

Agree....A lot of times, divorce bankrupts the man or the couple because of a combination of outstanding debt and monthly child support. Hope the soldier is wise with his dough and his ex....

Hope so too.
In Texas, I was lucky enough to avoid the formula mandated support payments, after my divorce, like they have now.
I actually got to plead my case in front of a judge. I was in the military and assumed all the bills and had sent a monthly support check with a court order. He increased my monthly support by $25.
I wonder what MA divorce courts will do though?? Any FReepers with experience?

You were lucky. Sorry to here the family broke up. Being a military brat myself, I personally understand the hardships a few 1 yr TDY can place on the family. Other than law enforcement, I believe military personnel suffer the highest group rate of divorce, maybe even higher. I was lucky on my D, no kids between us even though I was there 16 yrs. to help raise a really great stepdaughter. Just now 'getting back on my feet$' (2 yrs. past) after a large property settlement. Keep the house and let her walk :>) Guess who's been tryin' to meet now? Forget about it.
Anyway, texson66, that's the way it goes. Pray for this nation....we need it and to you and all who serve

Glad to see the "Soldier" win. Money is good and serving out you term of service yields a reward to our country, the military and the individual. (Airborne All The Way) Bush/Cheney 2004

At least his ex-wife won't get to spend any of it. I bet she is regretting having divorced him now.
