Two Winners Win $50 Million

November 5th, 2010

They’re $50 million lottery prize winners in a country where the prizes are tax-free.

Claude and Kurt Blanchette-Ebert are a month away from celebrating their 30-year anniversary, though they’ve never could afford a vacation to celebrate any of the other 29. They recently lost their house. Claude worked as a furniture upholsterer; Kurt is a master chef who till last Monday worked baking pastries.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the future of publishing.

I thought it a very happy story and a heartwarming video.
