Thought you guys would get a kick out of this over the weekend. Timing truly is everything. British bus driver Kevin Halstead just won the lottery. That in and of itself is pretty amazing; I don't know what bus drivers make, but I'm guessing it's a lot less than the $3.3 million he won. But what makes this story even better is when he won the lottery.
In a great cosmic F-U to ex-wives the world over, Kevin Halstead won the lottery the day after his divorce was finalized. If his divorce had taken one day longer, he'd have had to fork over $1.6 million to his ex. Now she gets nothing. Utterly fucking heartwarming.
He's obviously not a bright guy, however, because he already has a new girlfriend. He'll no doubt sprint down the aisle again, and lose it all. But it's cool for right now.
Judging from that photo, I'm sure she's dating him for his masculine airs and charm, nothing to do with this new $3.3 m windfall.

guys got bigger tits than the broad
Haha he luckily dodged one bullet, but has another heading straight for his head
That's funny. Isn't that a lot less after taxes? He said he's going to buy a mansion? Football season tickets and a trip abroad aren't relatively too expensive, but that property purchase isn't going to leave him with much, if it really is a "mansion". I guess he's never heard about planning for retirement lol
In the UK, lottery wins are tax exempt. (How it should be - **** the IRS)
Well, he's fifty so I'm sure he's been planning for quite some time..
Lottery winnings in places like the UK, New Zealand, Canada, etc. are tax free.
lottery = poor man's tax
lottery = tax on people who suck at math
And yeah if he buys a mansion with £2.3m he's gonna get a nice little surprise when property taxes are due.
hes still giving her half
