Talking Trucker Wins $105M Powerball - Says Will Keep On Truckin'
I just saw, on CNN, that the winner of this last $105M Powerball was ANOTHER trucker! His truck was broke down as he held the check and he stated that he will NOT stop trucking and will simply buy a new truck. WOW. I am scouring for a link to the story, but cannot find as of yet, anyone have a link to the story?

It's kinda neat to hear of someone who enjoys his/her job enough that they will continue to work despite there no longer being the need. And he'll enjoy his job all the more now that the pressure to get the bills paid is off!

"He said he would buy a fancier truck than the one that finally quit running after he rolled into Muldrow from a trip delivering air conditioners to Madison, Wis. But it won’t be a new one, he said, saying there is no reason to waste money, even if you’ve got it to waste, on a vehicle that greatly depreciates in its first two years."

Yeah right, that'll change
