WOW! His perseverance paid off big time. Hopefully he gets his social security @ 62 too.

Enjoy your well deserved windfall.

The CEO of ASPCA earns 800 k per year. Only a small percentage of every dollar goes to the animals. Majority is spent on salaries and advertising.

Some of the Veteran's ones are the worst and that is quite upsetting. As for my doggie charities I stay away from the big guys. There are plenty of small rescue/shelter ones to choose from.

One Veteran's group that I USED to donate through was on the news. They'd give the paralyzed vets a tiny bag with a bar of soap and toiletries if memory serves me.

Why do they always say donating some to charity?? As if one has to justify the sudden wealth by giving it away. Research some of these charities and see how corrupt they are.

This is the reason people stick with the lottery year after year. For the 1 in 10.74 million chance that it could be you. It is really heart warming to see a happy ending to his 30 year journey. Last Christmas I briefly contemplated changing the Powerball numbers I've played for years. After reading this ......that now seems like it would have been a horrible idea.

This is very encouraging. I have played the same numbers for years, by subscription, although I hope I don't have to wait 30 years for a major win. I just renew my subscription every year, if you're not in you can't win. At least, I have won several small prizes. At the end of the day, we all benefit from the revenue raised, whether we play or not.

Those lucky numbers that won him the Lotto 47 jackpot on July 31, 2021 were 3, 5, 10, 20, 28, and 31.

Looks like birthday numbers, congrats Mr. Anonymoose

I have played in 5 decades now and have yet to get a claimer.

My numbers that I played on the first draw took 30 years to hit for $100.

He is indeed lucky
