[TheWizard]

I was married for 16 yrs but, my wife passed away awhile back from cancer. I had 3 children to take care of. For better or worse I had a bunch of married women in the town going after me.
One of them offered me $1M.

I admit that I was no catch. In any case I avoided all that and went with Match.com to find someone. I have been doing quite well since then.

I don't understand the $1M offer. Why?
Perhaps you could explain in more detail...
