Beverly Bowman Splits Lottery Jackpot With Sister Tammy Taylor

Here is my rule if you win the lottery - If you win a big enough jackpot, you need to give at least one close friend or family member enough to retire. Why? Because if everybody around you has to work, you won't have anybody to do things with, like travel.

It seems that Beverly Bowman subscribes to my rule. She won a $2.9 million lottery jackpot from Washington's Lottery. She split the jackpot, down the middle, with her sister, Tammy Taylor. Now, the sisters plan to travel; they plan to take a cruise together with their families. See, that's the way to do it!

Beverly Bowman found out that she won the jackpot while at the store, when she asked the clerk to print out the lotto numbers. One-by-one, she checked the numbers and, one-by-one, they all matched. She started getting excited and that's when the clerk advised her to sign the ticket. She did that, then walked away to leave the store, ticket in hand. That's when the clerk yelled, "Stop! Put that ticket away!" He was right - She shouldn't be walking around with $2.9 million in her hand. So Beverly put the ticket away in her purse.

After the store, Beverly went right over to Tammy's house. Immediately, upon entering, she asked her for a dollar. That was odd, but Tammy gave it to her anyways. That's when Beverly told her sister that she had just bought herself a share of the jackpot that she just won! Nice!

At the time of their win, Beverly Bowman and Tammy Taylor lived in Federal Way, Washington, which is just outside of Seattle. Aside from the cruise, both plan to use the money to pay off bills and Beverly also plans to buy a new car.
