If this is true...congratulations to you. That's a pretty hard feat to accomplish.

Congrats to the happy couple. Pretty smart to divide the winnings as soon as they claimed it.

The important thing is you buy a ticket regardless of QP or SP. $1 gives you a chance

Not really. When I won the lottery jackpot for 3 mil, I chose my own numbers.

ALL YOU NEED IS 1 QUICK PICK TICKET AND A DREAM.

DO NOT LET MATH FOOL YOU. A LOTTERY JACKPOT CAN BE WON WITH 1 QUICK PICK TICKET REGARDLESS OF THE ODDS TO WIN, THAT IS A FACT.

They won with $1 QUICK PICK.That's what i call a great return on investment. 70% OF WINNERS ARE QUICK PICKS.

Something to take note of:

The couple chose their ticket through a quick pick. Like they do with the other lottery tickets they purchase, they hung it on the refrigerator under a magnet and forgot about it until the numbers were drawn.

Congratulations to the Powerball Jackpot in New York. My question is who's older in the married couple: Husband Jeffrey or wife Christine? Thank you.
