People always say stuff like that! Oh, I only live 5 miles from that store as if they would have bought a ticket the same day at that exact moment.

Like you, I send my congrats to the winner, but I like hearing that a regular lottery player hit. I don't care if the person is rich or poor, young or old, but when I read it was the first time I ever played and it was only because I found an extra dollar on the floor of my car it always makes me wonder why I bother

"I should have," Cox lamented. "I wish it would have been me."

Even if he had bought a ticket there, doesn't mean he would of won. Anyways congrats to whoever did win
