I disagree. Every Florida Lottery press release includes the name and age of the winner.

Just some examples:

The Florida Lottery announced today FLORIDA LOTTO winner Kenneth Wittmer, 46, of Palm Coast, claimed the June 3 estimated $10 million FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot.

The Florida Lottery announced today FLORIDA LOTTO winner William Anderson, 54, of Port St. Lucie, claimed...

You get two percent of anything you claim in your store up to a max of $100,000 (which would be $2,000)

You also get two percent of all sales you make. (with some exceptions to the good)

Finally it ends up being about 6% goes to retailers as commissions. (Almost $200,000,000 last year)

The article didn't say he was going to stay at a job, quit a job, not quit a job, etc., just that he will work hard (at whatever he does). A perfect ambiguous quote; we can all learn something from his words in terms of addressing the press.]]> nc6string http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=630373 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630356 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630356 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:20:56 GMT wizeguy wizeguy http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=630356 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630275 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630275 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 14:41:01 GMT Just6ntlc Just6ntlc http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=630275 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630258 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630258 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 14:17:32 GMT nc6string nc6string http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=630258 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630250 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/136858/630250 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 14:04:10 GMT BabyJC
