Wouldn't this just make you cry

So yesterday afternoon this guy I work with walks up to another colleague of mine, pulls a wad of $100 bills from his pocket and says, very nonchalantly, "Oh by the way, here's your share". The wad was over $1100. This guy turns white and says "wtf?" (literally).

For the last two years, they both played 1 number each in a 2-person lottery pool, unbeknownst to the rest of us, and for this Saturday's draw, 1 series of numbers was ONE NUMBER AWAY from the jackpot of $9,000,000. CAN you imagine...I think I would throw up on the spot. They ended up winning over $2200 (over 130 tickets were the same- over $315,000 total), which is better than a bag over the head and a punch in the face, I guess.

I just had to share this- I am still freaking out.
