I live about 15 minutes from this guy and he has become somewhat of a local hero. I ate at the resturant where he works at last night and customers were asking him to help them pick numbers. I would have asked also, but i didn't want to disturb the man. I know he probably gets it a lof here recently

We should have a perpetual "Luck Factor" thread in Discussions, or its own forum, and it should be required reading for any one who doubts that's it's just luck, or that the Lottery Fairy either likes you or doesn't! It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!
close doesn't count! I sell everything at a loss but make up for it in volume

Which just goes to illustrate, once again, that if you are "meant" to win a high tier prize or jackpot, it doesn't matter how you get there ; other than buying a ticket.
A dollar on a big jackpot game can win just as easily as buying 100 tickets, because the overall odds are so huge that you can't make a dent in them.....and each ticket/line purchased has the same probability of being drawn. Life is short. So PAY ATTENTION !

I am from High Point, North Carolina. Furniture Capitol of the World. I wish I knew the man. My grandfather might. I know exactly which Gas station that is too. There is a nice bbq spot near there. Jordan I know where it is too since I'm from Greensboro.
