Too funny! Are you saying that when your home falls into the Pacific you can then move to your other home before it gets blown into the Atlantic? Anyway, Bonita would be perfect for this family. Lots of multi-million $$$ homes on the Gulf and we also have a nice Target up the road! Mom can work next door at the Albertson's deli. Plus there's a lot of road construction going on, so her Dad can get right back into the asphalt again. Nobody at work will need to know they're rich unless they invite... [ More ]

I subscribe to the fathers attitude, if ya love your job, get the benefits of health and retirement funds, why not keep the job :)I'm sure the benefits provided by $40M+ will overload the Target health and retirement plans. I wonder how many INTELLIGENT lottery winners still had their original job, say three years later.

Does it come with a built-in mud slide? LA is not that stable of a place for a huge investment; unless you have a secondary home in Florida

Congratulations to the family for winning the $84 million CA SLP jackpot. How much did they spend on CA SLP on that draw? When they pick the winning draw, how did these numbers relate to them

Yippee Yi Yo, Yo!Somebody won who really needed it WON using their own gut instinct numbers!. Like the people from disaster areas really need a win. When you are completely wiped out, it is hard to tart over when you are 68 years old. It is MY GUT INSTINCT that we will eventually go to a disaster relief lottery.Let's hear it for the L word!!!Good Idea to introduce the USA Lottery! We need a national lottery to take care of charitable efforts of the USA and other areas of the world when NATU... [ More ]

Clean up on aisle 5 comes over the speaker. Wonder what the reaction time is for a multimillionaire cleanup person

But how will they keep their jobs at Target and roadside maintenance if they move somewhere to be unknown ?The only Target I would have with 84 MIL in hand would be a bulls eye pointing me to Vegas and the only roadside maintenance I would be doing would be maintaining my side of the road in my new Viper.But that's just me.........

It will change the people around them. They will be pursued for their money. They will lose their friends when they say no. Keeping quiet is the best idea and the best chance to keep their current lives. They will have to move to where they are unknown.

That was exactly what I said when I read that, except I said it like this..Target? PUHLEEEEZZE!! Clunker, I really like your dream home. Wow! Keep dreaming. But I guess I think on a much smaller level. I just can't imagine spending $6 million on a house no matter how much money I won.I'm very happy for this family, but I think they are still in shock. At least Nancy realizes she doesn't want to make corned beef sandwiches any longer. The economy is terrible and millions are losing their jobs, s... [ More ]

And not all for the good unfortunately. May they enjoy that hawaian vacation and new found wealth.My nephew has an astouding sense of good luck and sixth sense when it comes to lottery drawings.

Life will remain the same. RIGHT! And fly's are controllable! Check back when reality sets in. Like the next time their manager gives them a hard time for being late to work

Best of all, she chose CASH, when annuity is so attractive to young winners.

That is interesting. Didn't even need a quick pick. Just put the slip infront of your daughter and tell her to fill in 5 spots where the first five are and then one from the second group and presto....88 million dollars. Can you imaging picking those numbers just from looking at the bet slip. I bet many people now are going to ask her to do that. She could open up a lottery hotline or store. haha. I doubt she will need the money any time soon though. Congrats to the family!Brad

1/24/2006Congratjulations.....it's great to see people who need money, win money......But, I don't understand why the daughter, who actually bought the winning ticket, plans to continue working at the Target Store ......it's not as if she were the Store Manager.....Just once it would be nice to see that the winner plans to get a Degree in Marketing/Investments, learning how to manipulate the Market.....something substantive... learning to parlay her millions into multi-multi-millions..............

While Robyn plans to continue working at a Target store,her husband, who does roadside maintenance for the California Department of Transportation, planned to keep his job. I'm taking a week off, he said. I like working there. I like the people I work with. Just a word to the wise, where you may continue to enjoy where you work, people change, and I don't mean the winners, I mean the people around them......Congratulations and the best of luck, enjoy

Calif. family wins $84 million SuperLotto jackpot

Lottery Post — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 11:25:50 GMT

Call it women's intuition.Robyn Butler, a 19-year-old Palmdale woman, had the magic touch last week when she randomly selected six numbers that won her family an $84 million lotto jackpot.Butler just happened to be with her father, Vincent Butler, last Friday when he bought what turned out to be the winning ticket at a 7-Eleven in Palmdale. The digits she chose matched all five SuperLotto Plus numbers and the Meganumber drawn Saturday night - 2, 41, 17, 33, 43 and Meganumber 5. I just went with... [ More ]
