If she said Myocardial Infarction the masses might say: What's that ? Congratulations and quit or both of those jobs.

She did not have a close call with a heart attack or a near heart atrack. There is no middle ground there and she was checked out. It was anxiety or shock.

noise-gate, I was looking over the www.powerball.com and www.megamillion.com websites and thought that most of these winners have led an uneventful life after claiming their prize. Sure, you might have celebrated your fifteen minutes of fame but then your name and story are lost to history. Keep your nose clean and you will not be in the news. This is something that the pro-anonymity players should keep in mind.

Stay out of the police blotter and such and most beggars will move on to the mos... [ More ]

Actually Music- when Todd goes adredging, he brings up all kinds of stuff, both good bad. From stories like these to those like Abraham Shakespeare the consequences of being a winner in these times. It's a cornucopia of information for lottery lovers. But we'd wouldn't want it any other way . Sometimes, the dirtier, the better.

Where else can you read heartwarming stories like the ones here on Lottery Post?

Thank You, Todd, for this Friday post.

Someone in Massachusetts just won the same prize. She, however opted to take the cash option of $5.7 million pre-tax. A smart move IMO.

Not a grand a week NG, it's a grand a day! $365K a year for the rest of her life. Your point is well taken though.

Mr./Ms. LottoAce,

I think nursing assistants are the unlucky ones who are relegated to bed pan duties and such.

Nurses, have it a little more plushy (by how much? who knows?)

So, I'd like to see a nursing assistant win it, more than a Nurse.

If Dawn Jones * DJ felt that she was having a heart attack over a grand a week. Can you imagine those who win $200 mil above? Better have a heart defibrillator standing by.

I'm glad she won. it nice to see a nurse get a payday. usually its the doctors and insurance

companies who make the big money and the nurse empties the bedpans.

I hope she enjoys her win.

she should however, quit her job. as tough as that may be.

A healthcare worker won!! Yippee...my turn is coming.

It doesn't say if she took the cash-option. As for two jobs=heck no to that. Healthcare generally is very demanding on caregivers, so she will probably re-think her big win

That's not good because hopefully she either had a beneficiary or somebody else assigned to that winning ticket

New Jersey woman feared 'heart attack' when she won top Cash4Life lottery prize

Lottery Post — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:22:35 GMT

A New Jersey nurse who won a $1,000-a-day prize from the lottery said she had to call a fellow nurse to make sure she wasn't having a heart attack.

Dawn Jones of Trenton told New Jersey Lottery officials she entered the same numbers she always plays into the Cash4Life drawing Aug. 8 so she quickly called her daughter in to double-check when the winning numbers were announced.

Then came the silent scream, Jones said.

Jones said she called up a friend who is also a nurse to triple-check... [ More ]
