Going Out With A Bang . . . Or A Cha-Ching

Last month, 65-year-old Paul Bashaw went into work and told his boss that he was retiring, and gave them his two weeks’ notice. Then three days later, he bought a scratch off lottery ticket . . . and won a MILLION BUCKS. Now you’d think he’d go in and tell everybody to “get bent”, but NO! He kept it a secret, didn’t tell anyone at work, and still finished out his two weeks. Bashaw is now a happily retired truck driver who will turn 66 later this year. And he chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). He plans to use some of his winnings to travel.
