dude...you woke up the CA lottery guy , nice to know that lottery officials are watching our everymove and see what were predicting I knew the lottery was cheating ; As far as this guy in CA winning all that- loot shows a good principles of being a lucky person ; he faithfuly played the numbers #01 he obviously was very happy with his self and his life at the time #02 he was in love and lived in a gatted communty , life doesn't get any sweetier ;......( well ...38 million $$$) just kibbles and bits for an already perfect life); indoor827....don't know what you are referring to as far as waking me up! FYI I am not a lottery offical. I have no affliation with the lottery other then a regular (four times weekly; twice each for Mega Millions and Super Lotto Plus) contributor to their coffers. Not sure where the comment "the lottery was cheating" plays into all of this, care to explain? Also as far as your #01 comment "he faithfully played the numbers", just to be sure all the facts are on the table, it was a quick pick that won.

That's great, but I think if I was already retired, I would probably opt for the lump sum payment, but that's me. Great Story!! I agree with you, Miss NYC, but sometimes I wonder what I would do if I won that kind of money. I am looking for their ages. They could be only 55. Many retirement communities here accept people over 50. They won so much money that knowing their "Golden Years" are protected must be a very good feeling. They can always take half of the money every year and invest it as Mr. Salek indicated he would. Just the first payment will change their lives dramatically. EDIT: I just read the article again. I guess if they've been married for 49 years, they are at least in their late 60s. Well, they know they will leave a nice inheritance to their children and grandchildren. Either way the heirs will have to pay the inheritance tax. I can't believe their home & community was described in detail. That's irresponsible reporting.

Ca lottery guy I went over your comments and it is posted below ....if you don't sound like a lottery offical .....you sure sound like you had inside information ;ARE YOU SURE YOUR NOT DEEP THROUT......... eddessaknight....it wasn't the CA Lottery that gave out the information on where the Mr. Salek lives. This information most likely came from the local newspaper, the San Diego Union Tribune. The lottery in it's press release gave the winner's name and said he was a retiree from the San Diego area. In California the winners name is released, a trust will not keep the winner unknown. Also of note in the press release was that Salek bought 5 quick picks. He doesn't like to get the picks on one ticket so he made sure he got 5 tickets each with a single line. The numbers were 3, 5, 12, 20, 24 and 6, all below the birthday/anniversary number 31. Interesting that the winner was from a quick pick!!!

I doubt it. As far as having inside information, none needed. All one had to do was to read the lottery's press release, found on their web site, and compare it to the article posted by Todd from the Union-Tribune. Hardly inside stuff, just simple reading skills.

As far as your comment about playing "quick picks is playing the lottery", we are in full agreement. Your intial statement said "he faithfuly played the numbers". Playing numbers implies playing set of pre-determined numbers, not a quick pick. Sorry to hear you believe the lottery cheats. I do not hold that same opinion. If I thought the lottery did cheat, I would not play.
