Michael Eynon is one of the richest college football players in the country. No, he didn't take any money under the table. Instead it was just luck. The Ohio University senior offensive lineman won $250,000 on the Mega Millions. He failed in winning the $34 million prize, but he did land the second-best prize, which after taxes will be $172,500.
According to The Post, a student-run daily newspaper, Eynon checked the lottery numbers online, and then said, "This isn’t right." Eynon, business pre-law and accounting major, picked 9-21-36-38-55 all correctly. He did, however, miss the mega ball number -- which, of course, was the unlucky number of 13.
According to the newspaper, "The NCAA views the lottery as a game of chance (such as a raffle) and winning it is not in violation of any rules."
The odds of doing what Eynon did? One in 3,904,701.
Eynon is from Westlake, Ohio.
Prsonally, I have two questions for Eynon:
1. What's more important, winning the MAC or the $250,000?...
2. How does it feel to be making more than most of the Ohio State football players?...
