I'm glad Joe was able to overcome his gambling addiction. It must be hard for him but fortunately he was able to manage his gambling. He's so lucky because he won! This story will definitely inspire a lot of players that there is still hope for gambling addiction, they should learn about responsible playing.

I had to chuckle when I read Man overcomes gambling addiction, wins lottery because I promise I will completely stop gambling if I win the Lottery. In fact, it doesn't have to be $20 million. Just $1 million will be fine with me. LOL

This was a very interesting story. Very detailed.

However, it annoys me that Joe doesn't check his tickets. Can you imagine all the winning tickets that may have expired? Thank god he read that this $20.8M ticket was going to expire and finally checked his.

Moral of the story for me is: CHECK YOUR TICKETS

I had been looking for a product for work for years and could never find it. Other companies who had the product would never tell me who their supplier was. After reading this story I decided to visit joe's company Office Basics. Wasn't looking for my product on his web site but what do you know- there it was on the front page.

Joseph T. Jones Jr. won $20.8 million in 1992 in a Pennsylvania Wild Card Lotto $993,000 yearly for 21 years.

He just deposited the last check months ago.

I didn't spend it all. I didn't lose it all, said Joe. His nickname for the last 20 years has been Lotto.

If I'm at the urinal at an Eagles game, he explains, and one of my friends sees me, he'll yell, 'Yo, Lotto!'

Joe, 61, is still selling office supplies, though work is a relative term. He visited two clients before he hit th... [ More ]
