A redneck buys a ticket and won the lottery. He goes to Austin to claim it and the man verifies his ticket number. The redneck says，“I want my $20 million.”

The man replies，“No，sir. It doesn’t work that way. We give you a million today and then you’ll get the rest spread out for the next 19 years.”

The redneck says，“Oh，no. I want all my money right now！I won it and I want it.”

Again，the man explains that he would only get a million that day and the rest during the next 19 years.

The redneck，furious with the man，screams out，“Look，I want my money！If you’re not going to give me my $20 million right now，then I want my dollar back！”
