Probably some ole geezer who lives in a trailor and went to Publix to get his cat some food, saw that prunes and metamucil were on sale, spent the extra on a lottery ticket !!!! Now look, he can update to a doublewide and get an extra cat.

I know, I know, I am in trouble for that one, but I couldn't resist

All these lucky individuals who won $1 million prizes are only millionaires in the eyes of the media. In reality they come up short several hundred thousand dollars after the mob Government gets their cut.

Most lottery winners in the U.S needs to win a prize that has a cash value of at least $1.7 million in order to net a million dollars. In most other countries, the advertised prize is what the winner gets...no taxes, no annuity option and no B.S.

You're marketing strategy is slightly off. If you rename it to Gator dip without telling them what's in it, you may have a potential best seller.

I see they had another two winners.

rdgrnr — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 13:03:00 GMT

Yep, and a lot more Floridelphians have won large prizes with tickets bought at Publix stores.

It's almost like a guaranteed jackpot when you buy a ticket there.

It's a nice chain of food stores though.

In fact, I was thinking about test-marketing my Gourmet Squirrel Dip there and contacted them about it a couple years or so ago.

I told them about the big extravaganza I have all planned out for the regional debut with balloons and a squirrel petting cage and free samples and everyth... [ More ]

I bet most of 'em were bought at Publix.

I'm gonna make a pilgrimage to the one way out in Knoxville one of these days.

Then I'll win for sure.

It's a lock.

6 South Floridians become lottery millionaires in January

Lottery Post — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:48:02 GMT

By Nick Sortal

Six of our fellow South Floridians got lucky in January they all became millionaires playing the lottery.

And that's twice as many big wins as we usually have. Last year about 2.5 winners a month came from Palm Beach, Broward or Miami-Dade counties.

January's newly minted millionaires were: a $12 million Lotto winner in Tamarac, a $3 million scratch-off winner in Miami Beach, a $2 million Mega Money winner in Miami and a $1 million scratch-off winner in Greenacres. Two ot... [ More ]
