As a rule, I never check my tickets in the evening after a draw, I always do it in the morning, mostly mid morning.

Realizing that I am a jackpot winner as I prepare to go to bed would not be the best thing for my sleep

I get excited when I win a few thousand on Pick 3 . Can't imagine winning a million or more, I think I would get nervous also. Just don't let me get a heart attack . I saw some YouTube videos of people winning in casinos and getting heart attacks .

Of course the first thing I would have done after it was really true and not a dream that I hit the lotto is to eat a liverwurst or an OLIVELOAF sandwich with all the works and finishing the plate with three gherkin pickles and some sweet potato chips..... and wash it all down with Sasparilla or birch beer or creme soda or Moxie.

But then again ...... not everyone has my sense of taste culinary speaking - wise.

Have a shaggy day everyone!

Congratulations on the win.

Ain't it funny how the brain can react to a win?

No wonder alot of the advise for a winner is to pause, breath in, breath out, relax.

If I win maybe I would go to bed and try to sleep good luck with that, lol

By Kate Northrop

An Iowa man had such a nervous reaction to winning a $1 million prize in a Powerball lottery drawing that he decided to reach for the vacuum and do some household chores.

What do you do to overcome the shock of winning a million dollars in Powerball? Race back home and hide the lottery ticket? Call a loved one or friend and ask if it's real? Jump up and down and scream? For one Iowa man, the answer to processing an overwhelming l... [ More ]
