There goes the odds theory again out the window. It is always just luck to the seemingly unlucky, and skill or fate to the seemingly lucky.

There's a story on the Georgia Lottery website about someone who recently won their 3rd jackpot in just over 2 years:

$2,500,000 - January 2007

$1,000,000 - April 2006

$350,000 - September 2004

That's almost 4 million dollars. Must be nice

I just checked my MM tickets, got two numbers, no megaball = no payout. Why oh why can't I win just once, while I'm still young and have my health. I just heard today that a friend of the family, won 1.5 million in a Bahama poker tournment. He is 23 years old. Congrats to the winners, if you are reading this can I send you something that you can rub your lucky fingers on, and send it back to me. Share your luck.

It just happened here in Florida. It wasn't $15 million, but winning MegaMoney twice is still a big deal (at least it would be to me!) Here is part of a Press Release from the Florida web site yesterday. Congrats to this woman. I've been playing the same game for years...nothing. When it's your time, it's your time!

Funny! I almost wrote that too. But I am trying to stay positive so I don't mess up my vibes for the Sat night Lotto drawing here in Florida for $25 million. Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes, Yes (I sound like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally when she was faking the orgasm in the diner.

I love reading things like this...If you win once, i believe it can be luck. But to do it twice and so close together, I don't think luck is something i could believe is behind it...

Congrats to them and i hope they hit for a third time...Everything comes in three's...

Although Salzman won the $10,000 on Jan. 20, bad weather delayed him from cashing in the ticket. On Friday, he went to the Arizona Lottery headquarters, where he purchased another ticket for Saturday's drawing. That ticket would be the $15 million winner.

Did they only buy ONE ticket? Wow! Great luck. I agree with Barbara - I would also be checking every web site and be in disbelief for a while. I've purchased many lottery tickets in my life, especially state games, but it would stil... [ More ]

For a Nevada couple, good things come in twos. And that includes winning big Powerball jackpots in Arizona twice.

Just days after winning $10,000 with a ticket bought at a northern Arizona caf , Barry and Barbara Salzman traveled to Phoenix to collect their winnings and ended up buying another ticket from the Arizona Lottery office. It just happened to be the $15 million jackpot winner.

Of course I don't believe it, I just don't believe it happened, Barry Salzman said at a press confer... [ More ]
