However if you can somehow turn Lake Superior 's freshwater into salty water, you just might qualify.

Hmmm....

News Flash:

Authorities detain Wisconsin man for dumping multiple containers of Morton's salt into the Great Lakes.

Authorities reported when they were attempting to detain the man - he became very agitated and claimed he was on a deadline -

l feel your pain Kenny, but my description of a large body of water, always applies to salt water. However if you can somehow turn Lake Superior 's freshwater into salty water, you just might qualify.

I am near-ish to Lake Superior - is that a big enough body of water to count?

I need a win

Common Sense moment!

So, none of us won the jackpot - Fine. However one sometimes has to fall back on their original theory. Take last night's 2nd prize winners: Connecticut, Florida New Jersey.

All are close to..... aka- Large bodies of water.

This means the next winner of this MM jackpot has to be from California, Oregon, or Washington. Only seems fair, the East Coast had their chance and blew it.

Oh Yeah Baby

I believe this very much - when I was younger and bought into a Poker Tournament (never had played poker before beyond with the family) I just kept going all in either blind or knowing I had terrible cards.

I had no idea about strategy or how to play a tournament - I was pretty dumb (still am haha).

I made it to 3rd place.

Granted it was only a small tournament of 120 or so people - but I had 16 knockouts.

I tried a few times after that - never came close again to the top haha.

Thank the NHS National Health Service for keeping this winner alive.

You never know who might be speaking to your head. Pay attention and judge whether it should be followed.

It could be a past relative.

Well done to Simon Waddup

First name.

Last name an initial

City:

State

zip code with store location to give others the hope that at any age we call can still win ya know.

But, yea i am happy for him, great to read this tonight. Good luck, to all fellow players with your lottery games.

Congratulations! However, he was very unwise to go public. UK lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous, the vast majority do so.

Electrician recalls a voice in his head telling him to play the game

By Kate Northrop

Simon Waddup, 31, entered the National Lottery EuroMillions draw game for the very first time. As luck would have it, the impulse buy earned him a 1 million (US$1.25 million) prize.

While shopping at the local Aldi in Coventry, the lucky electrician repeatedly heard a voice in his head telling him to buy a lottery ticket on May 19. The nagging feeling persisted even as Waddup was on his way home.
