Has anyone claimed this yet? I used to live in NM and know quite a few people there. Would be really cool to see someone I know claim this.

Prospecting excursion, you say? Was Jack a prospector? What kind, do you know? Hmm, no wonder I quite liked him. Didn't agree with his political ideas though. I don't see him posting anymore.

My first thought too.

Maybe he bought it on his way to a prospecting excursion.

He hit paydirt if it is him.

Rooooootin for ya Jack.

There isn't a lottery player alive who wouldn''t be thrilled to land the $15 million dollar minimum jackpot - and would consider it a great return on a $1 ticket. Only there is a bunch of 'players' who will never win that, simply because they don't 'tune in and turn on' until the jackpot is well north of, say, $150 million. Their loss.

Realistically, although the winner is clearly blessed to have won at all, he or she likely walked away with less than half of the advertised 63 million. I would estimate the received around 20 give or take, not that that's pocket change. To walk away with 63 million, the actually jackpot would likely have to be over 100 mil, which rarely seems to happen anymore.
