Can I help you with that?



Seven New York State IT (information technology) workers had asked that question many, many times in the course of doing their jobs.

All their friends, neighbors, acquaintances, co-workers and relatives will now be asking them, "Can I help you with that?" referring to the $19.1 million checks the state employees will each receive after taxes. Anyone in Wisconsin jealous?

The winners range in age from twenty-nine to sixty-three. The ticket was bought in Albany, New York.
