Wow! Congrats to the winner!
This might be odd to bring up, but today I was at the market and told a customer has won the Fantasy 5 jackpot several times and I said I don't believe it. Then I read this story, so who knows? At one of the smaller Publix markets they always tell people that a woman has won the Fantasy 5 jackpot 5 or 6 times. When I told the clerk I don't believe it, she answered "Well, that's what she tells us."
I know that store has sold 2 Lotto winners ($3M and $7M) but with 377 to 1 odds, it's difficult to believe one player has won Fant-5 so many times without reading about it in the news.

That story sounds familiar. There is another one where a woman in Canada buys two tickets for the same drawing using her dream numbers and wins. I had forgotten about that story. Nice job digging it up. That was an amazing story.

When asked about his amazing luck, Mr. Branch replied, "I really can't explain it!"
I wonder if he thought he could, would he even try? I would like to know if picked his numbers a certain way, played some family birthdays or just bought some QPs. * Trying is the first step toward failure *

Um, yeah, sure. I've been behind plenty of people who are buying $30 to $50 worth of tickets, and whenever someone asks they all claim to win "all the time." It's enough to make you wonder how the lottery stays in business.
