Getting that dough: North Carolina man wins $1 million due to donut cravingReply
Congratulations, I think some people just have that feeling that their gonna hit big and the feeling never goes away and then the day finally comes and you get to say do you believe me now.

Self-proclaimed "King of Scratchers" wins $5 million in California Lottery thanks to superstitionReply
day. I didn't sleep that night. He explained that he always tries to buy the seventh, eighth, and ninth ticket in a newly opened pack of $20 scratch-off tickets. He says he's seen plenty of good wins by doing this, but that this was the biggest prize he's ever won. I'm the king of the $20 scratchers, he shared.

$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
A lot of work to get settled in from a big win may take some months after collection... Probably just going to take a few weeks to mellow out. Find a cabin up in the mountains or a trip up to New England. Then hit the trail to find land and then a specialty home contractor. I figure that will encompass a few years maybe 3-4 to get that set up. New vehicles, some toys, few hand cannons...just the basics...good stuff comes later.
