That's my clue to grab a bottle of wine only if Liquors stores in Oklahoma could sell tickets.

I almost always buy my lottery tickets from a liquor store. (and I so seldom drink I can almost say I don't drink) I do it b/c Texas pkg. stores have to be owned by someone who lives in the county where the store is and I'd rather the seller's bonus be given to someone who lives here than go to some out-of-state corporation.

Hahaha! Met more folks that won, when they rushed to get that Carton of Milk. Not Liquor.

Either lady luck has good bones or is tanked

That's right Helpmewin- picking up a six pack of Cold Ones and throwing in a ticket or two from the change does the trick....most of the time.

Why do you think we often read about some winners misplacing their tickets, they leave them in the glove compartments of their trucks etc get pretty loaded and weeks later find out that someone bought the winning ticket at the liquor store they frequent.

l guess the formula to winning is buying alcohol lottery tickets at the same time . Getting load... [ More ]

That was my first thought Prince- but it's possible that this person is thinking about the PB lottery which started in California in April of 2013 and did have its first winner at the end of the year..* I think.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but if not, this person won a SuperLotto Plus drawing. SuperLotto Plus is the California lottery.

1st winner from California was on Oct 23 2013! 6 months after California joining lottery. 2nd winner was on Feb 19,2014, 3rd winner was on March 1st, 2014 and last but not least was won on July 19,2014.... 4 winners since California joined in April 2013....I say more population playing, I know Florida has the 2nd highest playing lottery. There was a 30 million dollar winner from California who won MEGA MILLIONS too. Guess I will play a couple of bucks on each game. Maybe my luck will strike me
