And finally… brother, can you spare a dime?
Reading time: 1 minute
A senior judge and his brother have both won the lottery.
James and Bob Stocklas from Pennsylvania bought lottery tickets in Florida on their way home from the Sunshine State.
Mr Stocklas banked a cool $291 million – but brother Bob only won $7.
Mr Stocklas, who realised he’d won while eating breakfast in a diner, said: “I occasionally play the lottery back home and when I’m in Florida.”
“I got my Powerball ticket out of my wallet to check the numbers, and sure enough, I was the jackpot winner!”
The elated judge bought everyone at the diner breakfast. However, it’s not known whether he will be sharing some of his winnings with poor Bob. The pair are pictured on Facebook with their cheques.
