◎陳成良
Even though protests grow against Wal-Mart for supposedly treating its employees badly, Kellie Guderian is not fazed.
即使威名百貨據稱苛待員工引發抗議，凱莉．古德里安仍不以為意。
In October, she and her husband won Iowa’s $200 million Powerball lottery, but she cheerfully said she was keeping her job at the Fort Dodge Wal-Mart.
10月間，她和老公中了愛荷華州威力球彩券2億美元（約65億6千萬台幣）大獎，但他欣喜表示要繼續在道奇堡的威名百貨工作。
Kellie , said her husband, "loves her job, and the people she works with are like family."
她的丈夫說，凱莉「熱愛她的工作，視同事如一家人。」
The couple bought the winning ticket Sept. 23 during a pit stop for soda at Kum & Go store in Fort Dodge. "What a stroke of luck,"Tim Guderian said. "It seemed like a dream."
這對夫妻9月23日開車途中在道奇堡的Kum & Go商店下車買汽水時，順手買了這張中獎彩券。提姆說：「真是財神爺光臨，這簡直像是一場夢。」
According to the Iowa lottery, the odds of winning were about 140 million-to-1.
根據愛荷華樂透機構透露，中大獎的機率為1億4000萬分之一。
Tim Guderian, 36, served in the Marines during Operation Desert Storm and works as an automotive detailer in Fort Dodge. His 44-year-old wife of nearly seven years is a sales associate at the Wal-Mart where the pair first met.
現年36歲的提姆曾在沙漠風暴行動（第一次波灣戰爭）時擔任陸戰隊隊員，目前在道奇堡擔任汽車美容師，而大他7歲、今年44歲的妻子在威名百貨做銷售助手。他們倆也是在威名第一次見面。
The Guderians chose to take the lump-sum payment, which amounts to $67.1 million after taxes.
古德里安夫婦選擇獎金一次全領，金額扣稅後為6710萬美元（約22億台幣）。
