DETROIT, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A Michigan couple plans to use a $42 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot to start a pecan farm.
Chris and Tina Crane of Washington Township in Macomb County said that they will take the money in 25 annual installments, giving them $1.61 million a year, The Detroit Free Press reported.
Their first step will be to quit their jobs, they said. Chris, 51, is a service engineer for Chrysler dealerships, while his 47-year-old wife is an X-ray technician.
The Cranes already own land in Georgia, and that is where they plan to farm.
They also want to buy new cars. Chris Crane said his wife will get the Chrysler Town and Country van she has wanted for years, while he will buy a Dodge Challenger.
