Tom Cook and Joseph Feeney made a pact in 1992: buy a lottery ticket every week and split any winnings.

Twenty eight years later one of them hit big. Really big. Cook hit the Powerball with a ticket he bought in Menomonie, Wisconsin. The pot was up to $22 million. After confirming the numbers with his wife, Cook’s immediately called his betting buddy.

Feeney, an avid fisherman exclaimed “are you jerking my bobber?” upon receiving the news.

Preston & Steve find the best pacts made between friends:

According to the NY Daily News, they chose the cash option of approximately $16.7 million leaving them with about $5.7 million each after taxes.

The first thing Cook bought with his winnings? Two more tickets. “I won the Powerball and right away bought them. I mean, what can I lose?”
