$15 million lottery-winners to teen cashier: Thanks, here's money for your college fund
If you won a US$11.7 (S$14.8) million lottery, will you still keep your low-paying job?
A fair assumption is no.
But new millionaire Rhonda Meath, 51, wants to continue being a waitress.
So where will the money go?
Mrs Meath and her husband, Joe, are donating some of their windfall to a college fund for the teenage clerk who sold him the winning ticket at a local gas station.
Loves waitressing job
Mrs Meath, who is from Minnesota, said: "I actually really enjoy my job."
She added: "I have great friends here and a great boss, and it's just... a fantastic place to work, so I have no plans of leaving."
But she adds that one thing will change: "Oh, I think the kitchen staff is going to be a little nicer to me."
The Meaths intend to splurge on a new car only and are determined to keep their lives the same.
Joe said: "We're not going to do anything out of the ordinary.
"Have to still mow the grass and get mail and put grandkids on the school bus."
