Recently, according to media reports, Sean McIntosh of North Carolina, USA, won the lottery prize of 10 million dollars (about 72 million yuan). When he learned that he had won the prize, his brain suddenly went blank, and the whole person was completely stunned. After excitement, he said that he would invest part of the bonus to take better care of the children.

  

On May 1, Mackintosh wanted to spend his time at home, but when he saw that his hair had grown, he decided to go out to have it cut. On his way home, he passed a shop selling lottery tickets. Although he didn't often buy lottery tickets, he decided to buy another one because he had won 100 dollars in the only lottery ticket he bought before. This time, he bought a $50 "scratch" lottery ticket and immediately began to scratch the prize. As all the figures were scraped out, McIntosh was surprised to find that he hit the $10 million prize! He immediately felt that his brain was blank, everything around him became blurred, and then the whole person was completely stunned.

When he came to the prize cashing scene, the lottery official told him that he could choose to win a prize of 500000 dollars every year within 20 years, or take a prize of 6 million dollars at a time. Mackintosh chose to take $6 million in a lump sum. After deducting state and federal taxes, he got "only" $4.29 million (about 30 million yuan).

However, McIntosh was not depressed. He was very grateful for winning the lottery. As for the bonus, he plans to invest some of it, hoping to create more wealth so that he can take better care of the children. (broky)
