He was a 25-year-old who had money coming to him, whatever happened in life.

But for Brian McCarthy, son of the millionaire Marriott hotels president, his payday came much sooner than expected when he won $107 million on the Mega Millions lottery.

The son of hotels boss Robert McCarthy bought his winning ticket on a whim as he was withdrawing money from an ATM in inside a grocery store in Herndon, Virginia.

Mr McCarthy's grandmother, who was with him when he found out that he'd hit the jackpot, offered to make him a grilled cheese sandwich to toast the win.

The regular lottery player was working as an account manager for Pepsi and had just moved back in with his parents when he won.



He took a cash pay-out of $68.4 million rather than taking the full amount in 26 annual payments.

Mr McCarthy has bought a BMW M3 and plans to go on a golf trip to Ireland. He has also donated $50,000 to two local charities.

His father, Robert McCarthy, earns an annual salary of around $1.2 million.

Why would he even play the lottery if he is the son of a millionaire? At least he donated some of it.

For real?

**** the world. Are you kidding me.

Oh well, he won the lottery

that's not fair

50k out of 107 mill ain't ****.

It's like pennies to a dollar.

he should give a lot of money to the poor it's not like he needs it in the first place

Oh, the irony of life.

Good for him

Ha, that might work as an excuse for playing the lottery being rich.

Pretty much

Well, he took a cash payout of 68.4 million dollars instead of the 107 million dollars, split into 26 annual payments. Still, $50,000 is not alot compared to 68.4 million dollars, but it's a lot to any charity.

Umm, is there something wrong with that?

It is a lot to the charity. I'm just saying, it's not like his sole purpose was to donate. But regardless he won it. Good for him. Hopefully somebody I know is fortunate enough to win big like that.

My co worker is from a small town, and she told me someone she knew (not personally) won the top prize for Cash for Life -- $1,000 a week for the rest of their life.



































Oh, and he is a drug dealer.

DEATH DEATH DEATH ****ING DEATH at the people saying that this isn't fair.

Lord have ****ing mercy. It's a mother****ing lottery.

GOOD.
