8514 my favorite number think i'll play that.Good for the winner of euro. Run and hide before the locals could intimidate her. She absconded to a safe place. smart move on her part. exactly what i would do if the locals found out i won before i could get to the lottery headquarters. When i win the big one i plan on calling my attorney and rent the top floor of the Hyatt Regency and hang there till the paperwork's done.

Maybe. But she was robbed of the opportunity to take the annuity just to spite you. Likely it's all ashes for her, winning without being offered a comparison between her jackpot and how they'd have done it in NY.J

CO: BALONEY about NY Lotto. Don't let Connecticut leave Powerball!!My impression, CO, is that this lady didn't win the NY Lotto. She's in Ireland. Over east of NY a piece. One of those foreign places where people talk funny and they haven't heard your views on NY Lotto.J

Always glad to see some one with a future win. She looks like she would take care of her family. That is what the dream is all about.

Euro Millions jackpots are always paid as lump-sum cash, so there's no debate to be had.(Which is one of the things that makes Euro Millions such a great game
