Wow they talked to the media and waived the actual ticket around before they can even claim it? How did the media even find out? Small town where everyone knows everyone else, news travels fast ... speculation to conclusion even faster. BTW welcome to LP!
Congratulations to them, totally awesome win!!! Wish them the very best in all their endeavors!!!  Be$$$$$t of luck to everyone!!!

Dang! I bought $35 worth of tickets and won only $6. I notice the winning couple only spent 2 bucks and I spent 5 bucks for three draws my total was 15.00 and won 10.00 I stillhave one more drawing to go .... should I only do 1 buck a week or more cause the odds are totally against me... how many people spent a 1000 bucks and won nothing this couple spent 2 dollars and won you do the math......

Robert and Tonya Harris from Bulloch County, Georgia became millionaires Friday night when their Mega Millions numbers, 12, 22, 19, 7, 13, and mega number 10, were drawn.
Okay - now where are all those posts I've read about not playing all low numbers because you'll wind up splitting the jackpot with lots of other people?
My birthday is 19, my sister's birthday is 10, my Dad's is 7 ..... wait a minute. They stole my numbers!

My birthday is 19, my sister's birthday is 10, my Dad's is 7 ..... wait a minute. They stole my numbers! Not only is it incredible that they hit MM with all low numbers considering the matrix, but as somone else pointed out, what made her pick the right birthday for the lower grid?
They played a $2 ticket so there was no wheel involved, yet of six birthdays she chooses the right one for the Mega Millions number.
LUCK. It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!
close doesn't count! I sell everything at a loss but make up for it in volume
