How wonderful for this man. I love reading stories like these. It's very gratifying to know that someone who truly needed the money was able to win! 1.3 Million is not too shabby and will make a huge difference in this person's life.

Great Story; Sometimes Lady Luck does pick the right winners.

Whenever there is a Big Winner I always say I hope it is someone who needs it and someone who can handle it.

I know that I fit both catigorys and I'm way overdue.

I am very glad a veteran won this money. More power to him.

I do wonder how fast his back will heal now that he has money to spend.

This is a direct blessing from God, he was quoted as saying in the press release. Now everybody will be okay.

I was so touched with these words, I love the way he said Now everybody will be okay . I know that God had given him this blessing because he have been disabled for 3 years and now it's time for him to say...I am happy now... Congratulations Man.

Like true believers always say. He (God) may not always come when you want to...but he is always on time! Congrats to the lucky winner. I hope he uses the money wisely. 1.3 million is not a mega jackpot but it's a whole lot more than 4 quarters. It should be enough to get back on his feet but he is no where set for life. Especially after taxes. It will just may life a little more comfortable.
