Guys, take notes here!

A Colorado man, Waldemar “Bud” Tasch, recently won a $5,067,041 lottery jackpot. He took the cash option, meaning that he brought home $2,533,520.

Instead of paying off the house or buying a new car, his first move after the win was to buy himself a watermelon, and buy his wife some flowers.

Tasch plays the lottery every month in Colorado, always using the same lucky numbers, and in addition to the small purchases he made immediately after winning, he plans to expand his classic car collection, and invest.
