I think she was in Porky's when she was much younger, she was a gym teacher who enjoyed howling.

My type? lol Not into ladies. But from a female perspective and having watched her terrible show once, I don't think much of her. And I have never heard any guy list her as a fave on their list.

They don't seem like idiots. They've consulted financial/tax experts, apparently, according to the story. I'm sure they've set up trusts for their kids. They haven't moved to some exotic locale, they've stayed where the cost of living is very low, and helped people in their community.

We should all be so lucky.

i really hope they have put at least 10 mil aside and invest it in some stocks/precious metals/real estate/tech company start -up investemnts and others ...looks like the $ from the win is treated as spending income ...

all the best for them

Eating a plate of cold ham...now that's down to earth! I do that sometimes after Thanksgiving. But maybe after winning a JP, I might upgrade to Prosciutto.

Congrats to the family! It sounds like so many people have benefitted by their win! I could only hope to do that one day

We should write them and see if they'll sell our products in their new store. I'm sure your squirrel sauce and my glow in the dark burritos would sell well there. Sullys chili on a stick would be a hit with the health nuts, but i suggest a squeezable tube for the kids.

Congrats to Brian and Mary. The Lohse's said they have a plan to give the money to charities, family and friends. After reading that story, it looks like that $90.1 million will be gone in a few short years. Like the old saying Easy come, easy go

Sounds nice and all but... A 170,000 square foot grocery store for a population of only 4,000 people? That can't be right.

What a great story. It's heartwarming to hear how this couple have helped so many in their community and beyond. What a deserving couple. It's amazing how a lottery win can change not just the winners lives but so many other's as well. Wish this family a lifetime of health and happiness to enjoy their win.

In walked the Bondurant multimillionaires. She wore a sweatshirt, he a Chicago Bears jacket. They sat down and ate deli slices of ham with their hands off paper plates.

Mary Lohse hit the $202 million Powerball jackpot 18 months ago, the second-biggest lottery win ever in Iowa, which kept her husband, Brian, from hunger.
