Just watched it. Seems like a nice guy who cares about his family. I wish him well. That thing he said about not picking the numbers, oddly enough though, reminded me of David Lee Edwards when he said he didn't pick the numbers - the numbers picked him. I just hope this guy's life story turns out a lot better than Edwards' did and I'm sure it will. You watched it? Don't tell me you broke down and got a fast Internet connection! | | |

The new winner seems to be saying it was luck....or something else. | | |

lol I learned something new. I was always afraid to write on any winning ticket. Now when I have several pending ones in my purse and one I need to cash in, I will put a check mark on it so I don't think it is an old one. After checking a ticket and finding it to be a loser I fold it in half horizontaly and make a small tear in it, (I save the losers till the end of the year) if i look @ it later, I know I checked it when I see the tear.

I've picked my numbers a few times using the "let your fingers do the walking" technique. Had mixed results. Probably just as accurate as any of the best lotto systems out there. | | |

Well Congrats to the winner. I can remember all the time's I had filled in my numbers, just marking any number. I guess it just was'nt my time to win. Well maybe tonight will be my turn, cause I did the same thing again, just marked any number on my ticket, like I always do. Let's hope he spends all that money wisely, cause if I had that much, I would live the rest of our life's comfortably in style. | | |

he picked the same power ball twice randomly. when I was trying my luck that way, I think I actually paid attention that numbers are not the same. Does it mean I wasn't doing it randomly, since I was paying attention? Hmmm, I gotta try it again being drunk, so I can be sure I'm not in control of my hands while they are busy picking the numbers. | | |

Good idea, that could be a winner. | | |

Congrats. Hope he's married or at least taken. Or else he will be getting marriage proposals left and right from women (breaking tradition). | | |
