This one is great... Pretty smart guy if you ask me! (unless it was bought with his wifes direct money)

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) -- It took Robert G. Swofford Jr. more than a month to come forward and claim his $60 million Lotto prize, but he had to take care of some unfinished business -- divorcing his wife.

Swofford, a postal worker from Seminole County, claimed his prize Tuesday in a $34.7 million lump sum payout, ending weeks of mystery about who won the November 24 drawing.

Since they've been separated for 3 years, it sounds like the divorce was inevitable anyway. I'm just glad to see him take care of his son like that. He was also smart to have the agreement that she wouldn't seek anymore money.
