I do have a way with the wimmins, Max.

But it ain't lernt. It's born and breaded.

Maybe it's like ol' Roger Miller said:

I'm the seventh

Of a seventh son

My pappy was a pistol

I'm a son of a gun

So dang me

Dang me

They orta take a rope

And hang me

High from the highest tree

Woman would ya weep fer me

Me my ownself, I'd say that store was about played out on big Scratchers.

I betcha it's about ripe for a big Powerball win though.

You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down, Max

Let's stop with the Patel stereotyping/discrimating attitude!! Not ALL of them are theives ok?

CONGRATS to the winner!!

Seems it's cute to say that your saving lotto winnings for children or grandchildren college fund but

I don't know about college anymore, so many graduate,move back home and can't find a jobs.

seems like all the state border stores are the so called lucky stores . could it be that they have the most sales volume since they draw from at least 2 different states. i would say avoid any store run by a patel for obvious reasons but then you wouldn't be able to find one very easily. one thing you can find easily are dunkin donuts stores as there is one on every corner in every town in new england.

'Patel said the 40th anniversary scratch ticket is the most popular with his customers.

Funny... I have never played 'that ticket', and this is one of my favorite lottery ticket buying places in Massachusetts. Its right off 195 which makes it a quick trip across the border for a flip-trip. Unfortunately I have not been one of their lucky winners. They are very nice there.

another four or five zero's to add to that, I'd be very happy.

The James Quick Mart on James Reynolds Road in Swansea, Massachusetts, must have a good luck charm stashed under its counter for the third time in the past five years, it sold a $1 million lottery ticket to one of its customers.

Clerk Shiv Patel said he sold the ticket to a man who came back after scratching it to tell him of his good fortune.

That night around 9 o'clock he just stopped by to say, 'I was the one who hit the million dollars and I got the ticket from here,' and I was like,... [ More ]
