Man splits $22m lottery winnings with best friend, honoring promise made 30 years ago mondaythoughts MondayMotivaton
A Wisconsin man who won the $22 million lottery in June 2020 has decided to split his winnings with his best friend after he made a promise to him 30 years ago.
In 1992, two best friends, Thomas Cook and Joseph Feeney promised each other that if anyone wins the lottery, they will split the winnings equally, 50-50.In June 2020, decades after they made the promise, Thomas Cook of Elk Mound won the Powerball jackpot after purchasing a lottery ticket from a gas station in Menomonie.
After winning, Cook contacted his friend Joseph Feeney. At first, Feeney thought Cook was joking because the pair would buy lottery tickets every week with no luck. Both men have agreed to take home $16.7 million and will receive $5.7 million each after federal and state taxes. Both men are retired and say they plan to go on vacation.
They also said they have many other plans to spend the money but want to have more quality time with their children and grandchildren.The gas station where Cook bought the ticket has also received $100,000 for selling the lottery ticket.
