John went to a newsstand Monday evening. He was standing in line to buy seven Mega Quick Picks. But as he got to the front of the line, he decided to buy a Snickers bar. He took a step to his left to grab the candy bar. The guy in line behind John stepped up to the counter. The guy handed the vendor $5 for five Mega Quick Picks. That was a little rude, John thought.

John and his coworkers won $19.1 million each. John told his coworkers about the guy and the five Quick Picks. "Thank goodness you have a sweet tooth," said Mort. "And thank goodness that guy was impatient. And thank goodness you lent me $2!"
