She immediately dropped to part time at her job as recycling program coordinator for the City of Seattle, and said she looks forward to being able to enjoy trips with her retired girlfriends and visit her family, most of whom live in California.She doesn't sound as though she was living that high before she won. Anyone who considers visiting retired girlfriends in California to be a hot old time probably isn't in danger of much extravagance otherwise.But the lottery paid off several ways.... c... [ More ]

If she could afford a house on bainbridge then she's already doing ok. I wouldn't even qualify for a woodshed on bainbridge or even near Seattle.

The only previous Bainbridge Island winner was Eugene M. Kaponpon, who won $5 million in an Aug. 6, 1988 drawing. That's not necessarily true. There was the boy with the congenital heart defect that split a $9.5m jackpot back in '85. The ticket was purchased in Seattle, but the boy lived on Bainbridge. Ginny's ticket was also purchased in Seattle, but she's considered a Bainbridge winner. I believe this statement is incorrect.

WA Lotto apparently does NOT use interest rates to determine the cash value (MM does).

Ginny called her siblings in California she is the eldest of eight and turning 60 in November who were thrilled for her, and told her father, who was still comatose.Upon regaining consciousness, her father grabbed the arm of Ginny's brother Chuck Cantwell, rasping out, Ginny, loan! and has since started to recover. ok...first...this comment is ment to be funny... More evidence to show that when one wins big...family comes out of the woodwork, or in her case...back from the dead to ask for... [ More ]
