    WOW. Neat story....It must be fun sharing a jackpot with someone else who  enjoys playing the lottery.  The dad sounds like a really good guy.  I like how he already has tickets for the next drawing....Going to continue to enjoy playing.    The son sounds like he has his head on straight changing his phone number and continuing school. Hopefully he will remember to share a good portion with his DAD......  He must really love real estate to want a job after winning $88 million...I understand wanting to have something usefull to contribute but feel he shouldn't try and look for a job when others are out of work and desperate for a pay check.   Start your own company guy or invest in some land leave the jobs to us schmoes who don't have millions in our bank accounts...............GOOD LUCK TO THE BOTH OF THEM!

    Hopefully it will be my turn next!!!!  Although you will never see me at a news conference or on a tv news interview....Just some annonymous Powerball or MegaMillions jackpot claimed by a lawyer........While I'm at the Porsche dealership trying to decide on which color car I want!!!   Smile

        How did it go from 88 million almost 100 million to 29 million what kind of crap is that...The USA takes too much taxes...

        I am not going to lie to you millions are powerful we can do plenty of things with it but he needs to go and lose some weight...His job that he wants to get needs to be the gym...Hit the gym and then help push this planet forward...

        i hate when people that win large amount try to take that money for themselves, instead of finding a way to push this world forward or help...

        What's the point of winning if the state is taking 13 million away from you...And leaving you only with 29 million...and then you have to split it with your dad...

        u r hating and do u have a mil to talk about shoot i would be happy with 29 mil i would have only spent a 1.00

        Stay positive and things will go your way!Thumbs Up

            This just proves that the movie "Swordfish" with John Travolta was correct that movie was about the lottery & the Stock Market...

            Scientists work on many crazy things: Tell them to work on something that will make elderly women gain weight.

            The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

                Congrats to the winner.

                I'm so jealous.  I was just in NC last month and bought some tickets for me and for some of my lotto pools.   Oh well I've got up to 18 more drawings left on MM and PB in the states I played while on vacation.  I just know my turn at winning is coming.

                  Congrats Mr Jeff Wilson to you and your family! You're already following your dream. Now you don't have to worry about bills while you finish your formal education. Thanks for thinking about charitable donations also! Dad was right that he'd win someday as he picked the numbers. I still debate myself occasionally on whether Quikpiks are the way to go.

                      The only thing that bothers me about this is.... well, they play the lottery all the time, so wouldn't you think they would find a way to be anonymous? I know, I know, NC doesn't allow that, BUT if you do a trust or something similar, you can have your cake and eat it too.

                      Unfortunately, I see troubles ahead for that family if the son is already mentioning that he HAS to give some money to his father and family. Yes, he's joking...but there may be something underlying it. I really hope not.

                      I really do wish them all the best!

                          "I don't think I ever read a lottery story where somebody claimed they won by buying a hundred tickets."
                          Jack Whittaker bought 115 tickets.  Most people buy only a few so although the odds are better for someone with 100+, it will be common for winners to have bought only a few. i.e. say 10 people bought $10 worth and 1 person bought $100 worth, if the winner is among them, there is an even chance for either one of the 10 $10 buyers or the one $100 buyer.

                          The thing that grabs me, is, DID HE play his own numbers? No QP? Sounds like it!
                          Wonder if he used an algorithm or just favorite numbers?

                          Also, if someone loves playing Lottery then wins 88M then doesn't the Lottery become a bit boring after that?
