Thank you for the "good lucks!" lol... The reactions from a few of the store owners/managers was amusing. The best was the owner of Niki Food store. The mother was there, and she seemed to think I was off my rocker. lol. Very nice woman though! I also felt like a bit of a celeb. when I went to AK Kwik this time around. A younger guy was there, along with the older Patel. Mr.Patel remembered me, but it was the first time meeting the younger guy. About 5 min into our talk he says "Are you Adam?, the guys from the lottery post come in and talk about you and your win".. Thought that was a really cool. Only ran into a few managers that were feeling lazy and didnt want to help. This happened to me at Publix and a Pilot Gas station.
If anyone is curious about ticket details, or if the guys who do the record keeping on here want to update the spreadsheets..... This is roughly what I bought.

Of the loose tickets, I had 86 tickets, cashed in $2,130 in winners at Niki Food store and put that towards her books, and have another $365 in winners. so... Thats an average return of $29 per ticket. Ill take that all day long!
