Smith & Winschel, the makers of the highly anticipated H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine had all five winning numbers and the winning mega ball this past Friday, thus winning the Mega Millions jackpot of $200-million.
While the people behind the company are in fact billionaires, they are also just regular folks similar to the old working stiff whose dream it is to hit the lottery.
As such, they have decided to quit their jobs immediately, thereby folding the company and cutting off any hopes for a Swine Flu vaccine to be ready for widespread release this winter.
When asked about what the public could expect with Smith & Winschel ceasing operations, Smith & Winschel had this to say, “Quite frankly we don’t really care about Swine Flu, the vaccine, who gets it, why they get it or if this whole Swine Flu thing causes worldwide chaos or a deadly pandemic that kills off half of the world’s population. Didn’t you all hear the news? We hit the big one. We got all five numbers plus the mega ball and never have to work again!”
“It’s always been our lifeline dream to hit the lotto, quit whatever job we had at the time and spend our remaining years living the life of luxury and relaxation. If you need us for further comment you’ll be able to find us relaxing at a Forever Bliss Spa in Sedona. We’re millionaires now!”
That’s right folks, billionaires are so happy to win a couple of hundred million dollars that they forget that they’re already billionaires.
