Tim Schultz. 21 Years Old, 28 Million Dollars!

Back in 1999 the Powerball drawing stood at $28 million and on February 10 Timothy E. Schultz, 21, became one of the youngest lottery winners in history!

Tim was working tons of hours at the Coastal Mart convenience store for $7.50 an hour and trying to get by, living in a cramped efficiency apartment with no bedroom. Not having a proper bedroom didn't seem so bad as Tim only had an air matress to sleep on.
Money had gotten so tight he had moved back into his parent's house so he could afford to attend the local community college part time.

One night Tim let the computer pick his numbers; 10, 20, 27, 31, 42 and the Powerball 26. With odds at the time of 1 in 80 million he went home to his parent's house and went to sleep.
"My father woke me up and told me to check the numbers," Tims said. Seems someone bought the winning ticket at the store Tim worked at. Guess who?

"It's like a dream and I still can't believe it." Tim was accompanied at the news conference by his father, mother, brother and attorneys. "I am going to take a trip to the Bahamas, take some time to travel to some other places and attend school full-time as opposed to part-time," he said.
Tim decided to take the cash value option and received a check in teh neighborhood of $15.9 million!
That's a nice neighborhood to be in.

It's in Tim's plans to attend college full time now. He has purchased a relatively normal size home and is not very flashy with his money. Wisely he knows that might attract the wrong kind of girl.

Always interested in performing and entertaining Tim is working on a documentary about ghosts. Interesting!

On a side note it later came out that the front of the ticket had the words 'Sarah's Tim' written on it. Tim said that a co-worker named Sarah had given him 50 cents and he used that to pay for the ticket. Iowa law says you can win the lottery before you are 21 years old BUT you cannot buy a ticket until you are of legal age. Wow!
Tim's win was put on hold while they decided if Sarah had illegally bought a ticket or not. Luckily for Tim the judge decided in his favor.
Now we are wondering how it is that Sarah didn't claim half of the winnings as her own?

Good reason to know the contest and rules of the games you play and make sure all of your ducks are ina row as to who is playing and such.
