Preview for Sunday 062809

Hey folks,

Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog. Glad to have ya today. WE have a lot of ground to cover including me coming clean about something that you folks, some of you, have been wondering about.

We will also be revisiting the FDA Baning or flavored Cigarettes yet leaving Menthol alone. A lot of you have something to say about that. I have a new take on it. Join in the conversation in just a few.

Coming up today?

All that coming right up. But first I want to share this story. You know, we always hear of people wining the Lotto that really do not need it. But this is one of those far and few between stories of someone who ACTUALLY deserves it, hitting it big.

AP - Calif. man working 3 jobs wins $39M lottery

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – A man who works three jobs to support his family — including one as a limousine driver — has won a $39 million jackpot in California's SuperLotto Plus.

Clyde Persley, who is married with a 4-year-old daughter, turned in his winning ticket on Tuesday night and should get his first check for about $16 million in four to six weeks, said a California lottery spokeswoman.

The 49-year-old Santa Cruz man operates candy-making machines for Santa Cruz Nutritionals, drives a limousine and picks up extra hours at a restaurant.

He says his first moves will be taking his wife on a trip to Hawaii and hiring a financial adviser.

He bought his winning ticket at a Santa Cruz market where he has played the lottery twice a week for several years.

Congratulations Mr. Clyde Persley. Hire a GOOD Financial Adviser. Spend wisely. Live long and at peace. Oh, you may also want to think about quiting one or all of those jobs. {Smile}

OK folks, I'll be right back so we can get started. Get your morning Go-Go Juice and I see you in a second.
Peter
