He worked for Ford for 34 years. He had plenty of time to look for another job although logic would point to either he has been earning a very good living with Ford and/or he did not have the ability to get another job. In all likelyhood it was probably both.

Good for him and good for whoever replaces him.

The AP got the details wrong and many sites have retracted or corrected the story.

And none of that prize money will go toward a big, new foreign car.

"I worked for Ford Motor Company," he said. "I won't be buying a foreign product."

I saw this on the news last night. I laughe my *** of when he said he checked his numbers at work and then when he realized he'd won he clocked out and told his boss I'm outta here. Wouldn't everyone love to do that. Then they said do you think there gonna miss you and he said his boss wouldn't because his boss wouldn't have to take prozac anymore! This dudes a character.
