Nice story. Unexpected windfalls are always nice.

After I win this Powerball jackpot, I will be playing for a mondo 2nd prize, especially with the way the Mega Millions game is being revamped this fall. Now time to get those matching numbers...homina, homina, ohmmmmmmmmmm

This reminds me of the West Virginia player who hit the PowerBall second prize with PowerPlay for 7 tickets in 2012. I am happy for this woman. I cannot wait for my turn
