Idaho man, 22, wins Powerball lottery jackpotReply
exactly, and unfortunately, i know a few people who have been playing since the lottery began in PA. they feel that they are long overdue for their big win, and when they hear about someone a lot younger than them winning, they get pissed. they think that they are rich because they are expecting to win the big one sometime. i will say that their number is bound to come up sooner or later. the only problem is that it may not be the lottery. it may be death.
