These gas stations at the Florida Alabama line are always packed with Alabama residents. There is one store right after you cross over Alabama and Florida at Cottonwood, where they actually have tables set up inside and people do lottery workouts in notebooks. If I had more time, I would sit there over the course of a week and interview people to find out their tricks and ways to play the lottery. That is a fun store. Congratulations to Mr. Thomas!

He lives in Florida where he should net $516,000, whereas I live in Alabama and will pay another $41,000 in taxes giving me a net win of $475,600. Still not b

That's great. But he'll still have to pay his taxes in Alabama. Good for him, Florida won't tax him.
