This is not true. The prize payout is structured as 4 million by way of 200K per year for 20 years. By choosing a one time payout, you lose a lot of that money but get it immediately. That is where the 1.4 million went. He still has to pay taxes on 2.6 million.

Faith is just what's at the other end of the spectrum from skepticism, has nothing to do with religion. You have faith in currency, in doctors, airplane pilots, etc.
