Brink’s Money Counter Can Keep This Fortune
Milton Diehl is accustomed to counting millions of dollars: That was one of his humdrum jobs when he worked as a Brink’s Inc. security guard.
He’s had his fill of publicity too. In 1993, gunmen tied him up and threatened to kill him before escaping with $7.4 million in the nation’s fifth-largest armored-car robbery.
Fortune and fame have come around again. But this time, they’re his to savor. On Tuesday, at age 71, Diehl was introduced as one of three winners of a $10-million lottery jackpot.
“It would have been nice to win earlier in my life, but I’m glad to win later,” Diehl said, laughing.
