My second cousin won 50k a year for 20 years in 1980, Connecticut's 13th phony millionaire. Of course there was no such thing as a cash option back then.

A lady in my community hit the PB New Years eve Two years ago.Lisa Ensor. (collected 60 mill)She still resides in the community. Her fiancee' is more the talk around the town then she is.

That bar winner would be Frank Capaci, wouldn't it?I think he got himself in a lot of trouble, but the world record for lottery trouble has to be Whittaker.

Hello everyone,My friend once won $100,000 on the IL. lottery TV show.Another friend won 3 1/2 Mil. and moved to Florida.A person that I knew ,but not very good, who lived in my neighborhood won like 65 Mil. He was a police officer and did not retire because he didn't want to loose his pension. (Go figure!)A bar in our area was the winner of... .something like 170 Mil. There was a big suit that lasted for a long time and the winner had to give some of the winnings to people that came in the bar... [ More ]

Don t Know of any one personally who won Big Money. I got 4 out of 6 and won a bit over 1,000 and I was happy! LOL (It Don t Take Much, I know!) This just reminds me of what one of the Big Lottery winners on TV said: He said: People do not remember you for what car you drive, shoes you ware or what shirt you were wearing on any particular day. BUT what people DO remember you by is How You Have Helped Them!!!!! And I say Bravo to that!!!! It is so true

My cousin won 5 of 6 in NY, but it was just a few thousand dollars.I would have been happy but I got the impression she was really pissed off in not getting the last number.

My uncle won 5 out of 6 on Oregon megabucks for a couple of thousand dollars back in the early 90's. That is the most I have ever heard of anyone that I know of won.

I went to School with Tom Lapenis (now spells his name Lapenna) his father won the first michigan Lotto drawing back in 1984 and then 10 years later in 1994 I know a woman who won the lotto here.I also know who has the first publicy sold lottery ticket from 1972 here in Michigan.

I think that response shows how serious someone took your poll. Don't start planning how to spend the money until after you receive it.

When the MA lottery was $50,000 I knew one of the first big winners in the early 70s. I also knew a couple who won over a million in MA in the mid 80s, although they were really just neighbors of a good friend. (They kept their home and their jobs too.) I don't know any big jackpot winners in FL personally, although there's been several lotto and mega money winners in the surrounding counties.One choice should be, probably but they never told me! (maybe even someone in my family??) I've kno... [ More ]

Alot of people in my county have hit over the years...all sorts of big prizes. The biggest hit was 35 million for a pool of abount 30 employees at a supermarket one town north of me. One couple hit the Pick 6 TWICE IN 6 MONTHS for 13 million bucks 12 years ago...They managed a convenience store. There was an investigation, but there was no foul play; they got paid and moved to Florida it is rumored.

My grandparents who live in Sabula, IA (17 miles north of Clinton) know someone who won a $31 million Powerball jackpot back on January 8, 2000. Those winners, I think, were an elderly couple, and live in Florida now.

Do you know any lottery winners?

Prob988 — Sun, 11 Dec 2005 20:57:10 GMT

Do you personally know a lottery winner. I am not interested in small prizes that we all win from time to time, but in people who have won enough that they could, or have, retired as a result of their winnings.
