I missed this one. Congratulations Mr. Morris.

How unselfish of you to want to help others while you suffer with all of your struggles.

I hope your relatives and friends realizes this and give you a congratulations and tell you to spend it on yourself.

$50,000.00 is a nice chunk, but it can go fast, especially if you buy that HotRod.

God Bless you

Seems like a very nice man. I just hope he realizes $50,000 can go very quickly if he intends to help other people.

Nice enough guy, but the parasite beggars could eat through $50,000 real quick.

Includes video report

William Morris, Jr. walked into the Fruitland Exxon one July morning with just $10 in his pocket. He walked out with a $50,000 winning scratch-off. I hesitated to buy the ticket. It was the funniest feeling going in with all I had.

The 54-year-old from Salisbury said he plays scratch-offs every chance he gets. He came to Lottery Headquarters Monday afternoon, still shaking. I am still jittery, he said. I've worked for many years and have never seen a check like that... [ More ]
