i agree i looked high and low for those numbers and no luck... and like you said the super cash is a 1/39 game

Man, wife both play wrong numbers and win jackpot?

Will he quit?  That $350,000 is before taxes, remember.   That's maybe $215,000 that they will each see.  If they invested it all at 5%/yr, they would have an income of approx $21,500/yr.

Unless they are already getting social security or a pension, that isn't enough for two people to retire on. Don't forget, that $21,500 is earned income and will be taxed also, so they won't have all of that to live on either.

It will certainly help out, but you need a minimum of $500,000 to invest in order for one person to quit working and live off the income IMO. And that isn't a swanky retirement.  You would still be watching your pennies.

The govt pretty much makes sure you can't retire from lottery winnings unless you win MILLIONS.

According to a google search she is a CPA.

He works for her i doubt either will quit working.

Their total take is 700K.. even so I wasn't serious that they should quit on that amount, I wouldn't either, but you can just imagine them late one night in bed.. "Honey?"  "Yes Dear?"  "I'm thinking of resigning."  "You better not! I'll bop you with a rolling pin."  "OK Dear, see you at the Office tomorrow."  "Yes, get some sleep, I'm giving you a performance review tomorrow morning!"  "About my work?"  "No, the other thing!"

"they held two of only four winning tickets sold in Wisconsin for Saturday's SuperCash drawing, turn out to have the other two as well."

"each of those tickets paid out $350,000. Then they brought in the other two winners, which now raise the total they have won to $1.4 million."

"they had been playing the same numbers for several years."

"After taxes, the Adamsons will pocket $995,000."

Perhaps because she had a strong feeling for the numbers he picked.  Jackpot games are more than "statistics".  We had a guy here in the last year win Supercash with one ticket and numbers he picked. He felt so strongly about the numbers that he bought the ticket three times during the day (I think it was three times) in different retailers outlets.  So because the jp wasn't paramutuel, he won on every ticket. Something close to a million bucks.

You can do it with one ticket and one set of numbers just as easily as using the "shotgun" approach. That's been proven time and again.

After all, there is only one set of 6 numbers drawn, no matter how many tickets you hold.

They just announced on the radio news here that the couple actually had purchsed four winning tickets (2 tickets each) so they grossed $1.4 million witht he four tickets, and will get about $955,000 after taxes.

The man is also talking to an attorney to get a patent on the formula he uses for determining the numbers. The wife was interviewed and she said that even with his formula, he knew he'd have to play the game for years before he'd even come close to winning. It simply doesn't work every time.

I imagine our Lottery Commission is having a fit right now. LOL !

I just heard the same report on FOX news that they had all 4 tickets. The trick is, they still only won ONE time for the jackpot. Put it this way, what percentage of regular players use systems, say 10 percent which is just a guess. But that means for every 10 winners one of them was using a system. It does not say if that system HELPED them win. The only way to prove any system is with an honest backtest. And also, once they make this system public (is that what happens now with the patent?) the Wis. Lottery may determine what biased the numbers and want to change it very soon, maybe go computerized or something or switch ballsets differently. They should have not MENTIONED their system and just kept playing to win again, but of course they want to make additional $.

Maybe they put out a misleading set of numbers to confuse would-be system authors?
