I remember a time when it seemed like only old people won the lottery. I wish it was me, but it wasn't. Congrats to him. I bet every chick who didn't want him before is going to want him now. I hope stays smart.

I'll assume then that I can cancel sending you a prospectus for my Chicken Soup in a Sponge idea.

I'll keep you on the potential investor list for the future though, just in case, so you don't miss out on this opportunity.

I am a 25-year-old Virginia resident. But, for the record, I was not the winner.

Young men like to spend their money on wild women and drink

Old men like to do that too.

That's what I've heard anyway.

Congrats to Brian.I don't know why a young man like Brian would take the cash option.That's a lot of cash ( $68.4 million) I think Brian will be dead broke in five years. Young men like to spend their money on wild women and drink.

I guess i have to try my luck with Powerball, after all there have not been a Powerball winner in VA yet.Powerball here is still a long shot, West Virginia and North Carolina got it locked down in this part of the country.

happygirl665 — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:46:35 GMT

well how do you think i feel, and live only 45 mins away from where he purchased his tickets. I can't even beat pic 3, so I guess I will have wait the next four years to win. My luck definately stinks, but I am hopeful due to me starting a lottery pool. There is hope

68.4 Million at 25 years old. Wow.

I'd like to try that in my next life.

I'd rather try it now though at my current age which is a tad older than that.
