A Wisconsin man delivered on a handshake deal made with a buddy almost thirty years ago and split the earnings from a $22 million Powerball jackpot. Thomas Cook said he made a call to his lifelong friend Tom Feeney last month to let him know that he had won the June 10 Powerball, and that he was going to give him half as they had agreed to in 1992 when the game started. 'I said, '"re you jerking my bobber?"' recalled Feeney in a video interview about the call when the winnings were announced Thursday. Cook and Feeney went with their wives to the Wisconsin #Lottery in Madison to collect their winnings. After years of buying lottery tickets, Cook, of Elk Mound, purchased the Powerball winner at the Synergy Coop Exit 45 gas station and convenience store in Menomonie. He said he later realized he had the winning ticket in his hands while having breakfast with his wife.
