If i won such amount it will be also hard to absorb if it is real. It's better to doubt than end up disappointed. But since it is real, she will definitely have a good life. Congratulations

Sometimes Ladyluck does pick the right winners. These seam like nice people who could use the money. I only hope that they can manage it , and not be broke and bankrupt in 7 to 10 years.

Congradulations and live a long and wealthy life. Luckyfingers.

She may have retired at 48 or before but did not have enough money to buy a house until winning the lottery. So there is retirement in which one drives what you want, live where you want, travels where you want, and does what you want, or retirement in which you are no longer working but just paying bills sitting at home. The latter sounds like her type of Pre lottery win retirement.

Wow! I could become a 60 year-old grandfather of 2 only if my soon-to-be born son knocks up a girl with twins by the time he turns 16.

That house looks a lot larger than 4,000 sf from the picture. Nice house, but way too big for me!

I think all states should allow the winner to remain anonymous, but just let me win and I'll tell you how stressful it is to be in the news

Opps, they want a beach house! I found one on a lake in Pasadena, MD: Only $2.15M, 4/bd, 5/ba, 4000 sq ft.

Comment #19

golfer1960 — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:23:40 GMT

Here's the most expensive home listed on the market in Mt. Airy, MD for $1.150M. It has 4/bd, 5/ba, on 29 acres. Since the winners only took home $12.6M after taxes I wouldn't spend this much.

I'll take this one for $427K: 4/bd, 3/ba, 2560 sq ft, on 0.34 acres.

The Post Office AT T were offering people a severance to take early retirement, perhaps she is one of them.Nevertheless l hope they enjoy their winnings.

Really (except for here as well). It would be nice to find out you won and have no worries about claiming ASAP.

Congrats to the winners, I'm sure being able to collect so soon made the win all that much sweeter.

Winner chooses to remain anonymous

At approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday evening, before going to bed, a Mt. Airy, Maryland, man jokingly told his fianc e they were going to wake up as millionaires. One hour later, while they were sound asleep, that premonition became a reality.

When the woman woke up the next morning, she went online to check her tickets and realized they were $26 million richer. Before calling her fianc , she had her daughter check the numbers on the ticket, too.
