TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — An unemployed New Jersey man who won last Friday's $273 million Mega Millions jackpot said he wants to reward the mystery person who returned the tickets to a store where he'd left them a day earlier.
Mike Weirsky said at a news conference with lottery officials Thursday that he bought the tickets last Thursday at a Quick Check store in Phillipsburg, near the Pennsylvania border, and forgot them there because he was more focused on his cellphone.
Someone found them and gave them to the store to hold. When Weirsky returned on Friday, he verified the tickets were his and store employees returned them.
Lottery officials said Thursday that if the person who found the tickets had held onto them and signed them, they could have claimed the jackpot.
"I'm looking for the guy that handed them in, I want to thank him," Weirsky said. "I'm going to give him something, but I'm going to keep that private."
The 54-year-old says he got divorced last fall and had been a stay-at-home husband for years while his wife worked. He said he'd been looking for work for about a year and hadn't gotten any calls for interviews — until Wednesday, by which time work had ceased to be a priority.
He told a room full of reporters his ex-wife has already reached out to him.
"She just called me today and told me she's taking me back to court."
So this poor man was married, and then divorced, most certainly because his wife did not love him whatsoever… and then she calls back after he gets rich?
I bet any and every female would do this.
Yes, I don't think females have even a shred of honor. They are wretched fiends, and I don't recommend you EVER show respect to females. They are monsters to be feared.

Feminism has officially failed.
It's over. Females are not our equals. They are slaves. They are not meant to speak or think. They are meant to be distributed to each man when she is of breeding age, and then to be used for both procreation and the man's pleasure.
Nothing else suits her, because the female is literally evil. Their words and actions are both maliciously evil and detrimental to our society, so she must be absolutely enslaved in the most true and dire sense of the word.

$273 million can buy a lot of 'accidents'

With $273mil you could literally buy your own 3rd world country, hell, I would go to SA and buy up lots of land to be used as refugee centers/staging areas for the oppressed whites there. You can buy an awful lot of nig hating mercs with that much cash

Why can’t his ex just move in and take that chunk so they eliminate having to pay lawyers?

Some would shoot her in the face then spend the $273 million on lawyer fees.
