The DAY that happens..........Let me explain what you are up against...

FIRST, you got to climb 200 million combinations...

SECOND, you have to be the 2nd person out of like 200 Powerball/MegaMillions winners to do it with a system...

THIRD...Jackpots that are above 100 million only occur like less than 9 times a year...So you have to be in the right time of the year...

It's possible if the family had won before that they moved to a different address after the first win and used a different family member to claim the second win. It's surprising to me how much news about lottery winners come from the winners themselves and those who know them. Lottery officials have no reason to seek out such information and unless someone volunteer such information it probably wouldn't be noted.

Plus, wouldn't the lottery officials know and probably say something? I mean, I would think that winning two Mega Millions jackpots would be a very big deal and something the press and/or the lottery officials would definitely announce.

In the last article and what's even more remarkable is that they're the sixth New Jersey winner in just the past three years would indicate that they are not a double winner but if they were the same family I doubt they would bring attention to that fact because of the negative feelings that could be generated among players who have never won once.

These two lottery jackpot names are similar and in the same area. So I was wondering if it could possibly be the same winner, what do you think? I also noted that the two stores in which these winners were sold are only 8 miles apart.
