They are from Fond du Lac, WI (a few miles from WST). There is a strip of
commercial businesses there that is now referred to as "The Miracle Mile"
because so many very large lottery winners bought their tickets there.
I recall one a few years back where a school teacher bought a ticket and won
about $100 million. He was in the process of breaking up with his live-in
girlfriend and, as they were splitting up the homestead, he gave her half of
the winnings. Silly boy. Back when I was single and dating, whenever I
broke up with a gal, all she gave me was the finger.

Subject: Cheeseheads win big in Wisconsin
I saw on the news today that a group of workers at Sargento cheese company
in Wisconsin hit it big in the state's power ball lottery. 100 workers
pooled their money to win over 200 million.
I suppose the chances are good that some listers will be leaving our group
because a they or a spouse were a winner. You will find them "trading up"
to one of the more prestigious British marques.
Good bye Peter, WST, Dave, Larry, Good bye all. We hope you remember your
old lister friends now that you are "in the money."
