Just weeks left to claim $44 million Florida Lotto ticketReply

After all, it is the equivalent of a small PowerBall jackpot amount of $44,000,000.

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply

However years before that I wrote them in Las Vegas and said I had won several jackpots on their WOF slot machines. They sent me a very nice WOF with IGT on the back.
