Promise is a promise
Georgia man shares $1 million Powerball lottery winnings with pals, keeping childhood promise.
A trio of childhood pals have split a $1 million lottery triumph decades after they first promised to share any future winnings.Kenneth Wilson, 59, ignored temptation to keep the spoils for himself by honoring the childhood pact sealed with best friend James Scoles, 56, and his cousin Sanford Watson.
NBC News reports that Wilson, of Macon, Ga., scooped the cash prize from the state's Lottery Commission on Mar. 15, 2013.
With the numbers 3-7-21-44-53, he missed out on the elusive Powerball - but still won a cool million - which he said he just had to share with his buddies.
"I was just as tickled for them as I was for myself. We just had a verbal agreement and I felt like that had to be honored," Wilson told NBC News.
Scoles coincidentally had just opened a fortune cookie which read "You're going to win the lottery" when he heard the news in the North Pole.
Wilson delayed receiving the check so his friend could fly back to Georgia - and the trio set off to get their winnings.
Wilson said he had "no immediate plans" on how to spend the cash, but Scoles said he'd like to buy "Georgia honey baked ham, and a smoked turkey, and some good barbecue sauce.
