A redneck buys a ticket and won the lottery. He goes to Austin to claim it and the man verifies his ticket number. The redneck says,“I want my $20 million.”
The man replies,“No,sir. It doesn’t work that way. We give you a million today and then you’ll get the rest spread out for the next 19 years.”
The redneck says,“Oh,no. I want all my money right now!I won it and I want it.”
Again,the man explains that he would only get a million that day and the rest during the next 19 years.
The redneck,furious with the man,screams out,“Look,I want my money!If you’re not going to give me my $20 million right now,then I want my dollar back!”
一個鄉(xiāng)下人買了一張彩票,中了大獎。他到奧斯丁去領(lǐng)獎。工作人員證實了他的獎券號碼。鄉(xiāng)下人說:“我要領(lǐng)走我的兩千萬美元?!?
工作人員回答道:“對不起,先生,這不符合領(lǐng)獎程序。我們今天只能給你一百萬,剩下的分十九年付清?!?
鄉(xiāng)下人說:“不,不行。我要馬上把所有屬于我的錢都拿走!錢是我贏的,應該歸我?!?
那位工作人員又向他解釋了一遍,告訴他今天只能拿走一百萬,剩下的要分十九年拿。
鄉(xiāng)下人勃然大怒,對他大吼道:“告訴你,我一定要把錢拿走。如果你不能馬上把我的兩千萬美元給我,那就把買彩票的那一美元退給我!”
