Mega Millions Winner Burns Bridges…Fast

Mega Millions Winner Burns Bridges…Fast

megamillions.jpgWe’ve all had the dream: Win X millions of dollars and tell the boss to shove it!

David Sneath, a 34-year veteran at the Ford Motor Co. parts warehouse, turned it into a reality.

"I yelled to the boss, ‘I’m out of here!"

"I worked for Ford Motor Company…I won’t be buying a Ford product."

Ouch.

As if departing with absolutely no notice wasn’t enough, Sneath applied a bitchslap on his way out.  It must have felt like the cherry on top, right?

He might want to think twice.

Given the well-chronicled fall from grace many lotto winners have experienced, it could only be a matter of time until poor David needs that hi-lo job back.

Perhaps sensing his options might be limited should his luck turn for the worst, Sneath has now said he never made the anti-Ford statements.
