The sad part is he will, more likely than not, be broke within 5 - 7 years. :shock:

I hope that is not the case.

Sad but true. One of the cable channels, did a show on this very subject. The percentage/odds are high that he'll be broke/in-debt within 5 to 7 years. On another note; That Mobile station he bought it from, is just east of me and two blocks west from where Mrs. PK's daughter lives.

"Sneath said he doesn't have any big plans for the money, but noted none will go toward buying a big, new foreign car."

I saw an interview with the couple and actually his wife interjected at this point that she wanted a Mercedes. :lol:

Good for him!!! Todays Free Press:

"Michigan's newest multimillionaire is a loyal Ford guy after all.

David Sneath of Livonia, winner of Tuesday's $136-million Mega Millions jackpot, said -- contrary to a story in Friday's Free Press -- that he will buy Ford vehicles, after working 34 years for the automaker. He also said Friday that he may get back together with his ex-wife, Deborah Sneath, declaring, "I love that girl."

Friday's story incorrectly quoted Sneath, saying he would not buy a "Ford product" when asked whether he would purchase a luxury car. In fact, he said he would not buy a "foreign product." But his answer was misunderstood by reporters for the Free Press and the Associated Press, which also misquoted him.

"I worked 34 years for them; I'm not going to turn my back on them," said Sneath, who drove a hi-lo at a Ford parts warehouse in Brownstown Township. He said he is done working and has submitted his retirement paperwork.

Sneath, 60, said he plans to buy himself a Lincoln Navigator, his 22-year-old son a Ford Explorer and his ex-wife a Ford, but she hasn't picked a model."
