Someone is forgetting about things such as taxes and other non-direct expenses, methinks.

Good luck. How does the grand compare to driving a cab (in Wichita?) for two weeks?

Everybody keeps mentioning taxes. Not sure which countries you guys live in, but Wichita happens to be in the United States. In the United States money is taken from the rich and given to the poor. So until you make enough to overcome the standard deduction, taxes really isn't an issue.

He can worry about taxes when he wins the Sunday Million.
