They Hit the Jackpot, but Will Uncle Sam Care?
The Moores now have 150 million reasons to quit the Army and return to civilian life.
Danielle and Tirrell Moore, staff sergeants who are visiting Fitzgerald while on leave from duty in South Korea, bought the winning ticket for the Mega Millions multistate lottery and won a $150-million jackpot. They chose to receive a lump sum payment of $88.9 million, and now plan to ask the Army for releases.
The pair, due to return to South Korea on Oct. 16, say they may ask for an extension considering their change of fortunes.
