What’s that saying about if you rub shoulders with rich people some of their gold will start to rub off on you? Well that’s how it must have felt for a guy in Tsawwassen, Canada who has worked for over 20 years in gambling industry. I’m sure that Brian Egli must have had his moments of jealousy when he handed over checks to countless lottery-winning millionaires along the way. But his moment of glory came when he learned that he had matched all six winning numbers to earn the massive amount of $4.3 million this week. You can’t blame Egli’s wife Bea for her response when her husband told her that they had won the Big One. All she could mutter scornfully was, “Sure we did, Brian.”
So, Don comes home after a hard day’s work and sees his wife wearing an expensive new fur coat. He blanches and asks her where she got it. “My boss won the lottery and this was my share!” she explains. The next week, she comes home driving a new car, and again she explains that her boss won the lottery. On the third week, she comes home from work wearing a dazzling diamond necklace, with the same explanation. Tired from work, she asks Don to run her a bath but is stunned to see that he has only put in an inch of water in the tub. “Why is there so little water?” she asks. “Well, we don’t want your lottery ticket getting too wet now, do we?” he responds.
