I though you had to be 18 years old to buy a lottery tickets in all states... something in the story doesn't add up. you got to be at least 18 in all states to buy cigs...

never mind. her mom bought her the ticket...

Wait a minute. She got struck by lightning. Spent hours in the emergency room and then won a skimpy 20 bucks. That's not so lucky.Bed

Her and her parents probably think otherwise. She was lucky that she didn't die.

She indeed was lucky. Imagine all that voltage running through your body!!! Winning $20.00 was just icing on the cake. GoD Bless her and maybe that lighting strike gave her some new psychic powers.

Getting struck by lighting and then winning the MegaMillions jackpot would have made a more interesting story but people have to go with what they have.  The previous MegaMillions jackpot winner was in Ohio and he/she/they haven't been heard from yet, they might have had an even more interesting story but don't want it known.  It seems like they are waiting for everyone to forget that there ever was a jackpot winner in Ohio before making their claim.

I was going to ask about that winner in Ohio.  I have not read a thing about it since they announced the winner was in Amelia Ohio.  Even if they didn't want to be known, doesn't the lottery have to at least post that the winner has stepped forward through their lawyer or something just so the public knows? I haven't even heard that at all.  Did anyone even claim it yet period?

Surrender You can run, but you can't hide mighty Jackpot...surrender to me at once!

You are right. Sorry for sounding mean. I just don't think of being struck by lightning as being "lucky". But surviving it is. God bless her. And I do dread going to the ER with anyone in my family as we always get stuck with a bill for about $300. That is when you do need the lotto winnings!!!

I saw that too and thought it was going to be a bad luck story about a 16-year-old being struck by lightning, buying a winning $20 scratch-off the next day, the lottery refusing to pay her because she was underage, and the store losing their license for selling her the ticket.
