There was an assemply line worker at a the company where I worked some
30 years ago who operated a kick press for minimum wage. She won a
million dollar lottery and quit. Six months later she was dead broke
and begging for her kick press job. She wasn't rehired. I heard she
gave most of that money to her church.
