What's up with that last sentence? So someone couldn't handle dealing with 1M USD and somehow the company that gave it owes them anything? They even had the option for annuity?
The podcast from KCRW goes into further detail as to what happened: http://www.kcrw.com/news-culture/shows/lost-notes/a-million-...
I don't understand why mcDs owes him.
Yeah, if anything it's his mother who's to blame.
After reading the article the statement "I think McDonald's owes Galax, Virginia some kind of debt." is ridiculous. McDonalds kept their side of the bargain and gave the winnings. After that it's the winner's responsibility to be wise with the money. McDonalds owes nothing. Scotty should be (This is my opinion. I have no affiliation with McDonalds)
