I have it from a very unreliable source ....that Joseph and Bryan both like oliveloaf and liverwurst sandwiches.

If you don't believe me ...... contact Gov. Pritzker ..,he knows where all the luncheon meat is buried.

Have a shaggy day !

Word traveled fast when they shared the news of their win with family and other close friends.

They say time and again, don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone, but folks do the opposite.

Will I be strong enough not to tell anyone, or will the adrenaline be too much to keep it to myself?

Only time can tell and of course a winning ticket

Congratulations on the win folks.
