Anyone wanting to become an engineer might want to look in Michigan. An engineer won the recent record Powerball Lottery.

Believe me if its ever me there will be one less spot on the BNSF roster. Two Mega Million tickets for tonight hanging on the fridge. Can’t win if you don’t play
Gotta play to lose!
And, another U-Haul is loaded for some Points South from Michigan.
Can You say “retired BNSF Engineer”? Or maybe just able to move for a change of job venue? depending on what his score was…[swg]
Anybody know what the prize$$$$$$ was worth?
He took the lump sum…about $156 million, tax-free. That’s over two million to go through every year of his life.
[:-,] Wonder if he’ll buy a railroad - just a shortline to small regional size, of course - and swap roles with former management types - TrainMasters, DiSpatchers, Yard Foreman, etc. - and delight in bedeviling them as was no doubt done to him ? [:-^]
But . . . he might find out that the fastest or easiest way to become a millionaire is to start out as a multi-millionaire, buy a railroad, and then run it until the money is mostly gone . . . [swg]

I have NEVER lost the lottery! [8D]
