CRANSTON, R.I. — Perhaps there's luck in their genes.
A man from East Providence, Rhode Island, has claimed more than $180,000 in lottery winnings, a day after his son won $1,000 in a different game.
Rhode Island Lottery officials say the man on Monday claimed the $180,599 jackpot from the Wild Money game's Saturday night drawing. He was accompanied to lottery headquarters in Cranston by his wife and son, who had just won $1,000 of his own on an instant ticket on Friday.
Lottery officials didn't release the winner's name.
The winner says he wants to take his wife of 35 years on a vacation, but he's not sure how else he'll spend the money.
He bought the ticket at an East Providence convenience store.
Congratulations to the lucky winner,and kudos to Rhode Island for allowing him to collect his winnings without splattering his name from coast to coast.
Mmmm.....wonder if it's Max's dh? Congrat's and Happy va-ca if it is Max!
That is a nice win! Congrats to the winners both big and small. Enjoy it!-weshar75
A New England conspiracy, just like yesterday's Mega Millions win in New York!
Just kidding, Congrats to all!
lol - no such luck. east providence is pretty much in the middle between the 2 big winners that we have had... so it looks like we are spreading the winners out throughout this HUGE state.
man... a vaca sure does sound sweet though hmm?
and i am STUNNED that RI isnt plastering the name hither - thither - and yon... they must be 'old-family' and know the right people!
stunned? he only won 180,000 not 180 million. do you really think people are going to hunt down a winner looking for a handout for that paltry an amount. it wouldn't be worth the ink to print his name since no one would even care. cletus is more worried about having his name revealed in the unlikely event that he would win that he probably doesn't even play. he is scared of his own scarecrow in his own cornfield. yes, cletus we get it, for the umpteenth time. you are in favor of not revealing winners names.
Well faber98,you might as well get used to reading about me and my dislike of lotterys revealing the names of the winners because I'm going to bitch about it until the lotterys change their stupid rules.I'm not like you and just roll over when someone says to rollover.And I do play the lottery.But do you?And $180,000 might be a paltry amount of money to someone like you,but to most people it is a lot of money and people have and do come out of the woodwork to beg for some of it.People have been killed for far less money,
yep stunned... rhode island pretty much tells everybody anything in order to get publicity.
Feeling a little guilty about it now.
wow... that musta been one heck of a sandwich!
Your dam right it was!!! A Subway foot long steak & cheese, with all the works. The nerve of that guy.
WHAT U SAID IS TRUTH i gotta move to ny myb i win mega mill
The NY lotto pool is now open. Come and jump in. Everyone wins,wins,wins.
I can't swim, will there be lotto lifeguards present to rescue me if I sink, or worse yet lose.
Great, now I'm hungry and want a Subway :/
Go get yours Maringoman! Just don't even think about swiping mine, or I'll have to put you down like my ex-buddy.
McGinn,
Though they may be tempted to have you replace Jared as their spokesperson, I think that Subway may opt out because of the controversy of having "This man would kill for a Subway sandwich" as the new slogan.
But maybe not. You could be on billboards everywhere with a sandwich in one hand and an Uzi in the other. :)
Jared is old news, like stale bread that needs to be tossed.
Subway exec's would just need to listen to their marketing people.
The amazing concept that their subs are so delicious, and in demand, that
their customers would kill
anyone caught trying to take them is brilliant! Your Uzi idea is top notch Epistrophy. 
Maybe a more customer friendly slogan might be: "My best friend laid down his life, so that I might have my Subway"
You gotta love the fact that their marketing people look like Beldar Conehead.
Must consume mass quantities of sandwiches.
Coneheads are known to expend tens of thousands of calories, to keep their massive grey matter properly fed.
The complimentary sandwiches would be just the ticket, to keep their fresh Subway marketing ideas forth coming.
Don't worry, the lotto will provide lifejackets until you pay your taxes.
You must love lettuce with a passion.
And unripened tomatoes.Subway sells garbage & calls it food!
I think that calling it garbage is way too harsh of a characterization. I'm talking about comparing it with its peers, which is the "on-every-corner" national and international coverage. Compared to most of its fast food peers in that category, Subway does a pretty good job. Again, just an opinion.
Now granted, you can get better food, including sandwiches, elsewhere. For example, almost any ol' deli in NYC will serve a killer sandwich, but it'll cost you, and you won't be able to buy it everywhere in the country as you can with Subway, just in the one little location for a Mom 'n' Pop place.
Besides, we should keep McGinn's dream of replacing Jared going. He could wear an LP t-shirt while talking about sandwiches and firing rounds over people's heads if they try to snag his sandwich. It would be entertaining at the very least.
You have a right to your opinion.
I have a right to mine.My opinion is that Subway sells garbage and calls it food.
Yup, and let us not forget, one mans garbage is another's gourmet goodies.
A fittin' way to gracefully end Jared's career, would be to catch a few rounds of an Uzi, just after swiping
my freshly made sandwich. 
It could be right up there with who shot J.R.?
As funny as that would be, I don't see it getting greenlighted.
Maybe tone it down (and take it easy on poor Jared) a bit:
In your best Duke or Clint Eastwood voice, you say to him, "Mister, this Subway franchise ain't big enough for the two of us."
Then you make him dance like in old Westerns by firing rounds at his feet, after which he runs off into the sunset while getting chased by more rounds.
But your version would definitely have an impact, that's for sure.
