Why worry about the odds of winning the jackpot? You have to play to win.

I wouldn't want my picture posted. Too many things go wrong when people know you won a lump sum

she prob wanted him to pick the anon option.

And $21 mill means 12.8 mill before taxes, now to work out how much gets grafted before he gets his final cash payment

I just watched their interview. They are very emotional about the win. He is 65 years old and will continue to work. He also said they aren't moving, they plan on living in the same house, just updating it. We'll see how long that lasts. They seem like a great family and the last thing I'd want (if I were in their shoes) is vultures knocking on my door looking for a handout. Congrats and best of luck to them

Well he's not the first winner named O'Keefe.

There was a winner featured on a LCML rerun w/ the same last name.

Luck o' the Irish ? I'll let you know when it hits me... well maybe.

Coin Toss I enlarged the photo and took a good look at all of them. I think the wife looks happier than the son

and husband. Look at the eyes.

The lottery employee is happy enough to make up for any of them though, look at that beaming smile.

A great story and a nice win for a family with a military background. They all deserve good things for

their sacrifice. WTG

I think she appears to be stifling crying [might be emotional that if it had been won a few months earlier her mom would have been able to be there to share their uber excitement with them].
