Well good for him!!!! 80-year-old World War II Navy pilot I salute him first for the service to our country and give him two thumbs up on his winnings, you know the pension from the service isn't much. The boneheads in Washington makes sure of that! Way to go Walter

The bottom line is to win the lottery ( be over 60, play your social security check on it, and buy quick picks) Simple as that

Walter F. Tracey slept in until about 1 p.m. Sunday, then got a surprising jolt. The 80-year-old World War II Navy pilot checked the newspaper, and there it was in black and white: He had the winning numbers for the $100 million SuperLotto Plus jackpot.
