Lotto/Lottery stories

[Scotto]

Anyone know anyone who won the lottery or have any stories?

Just sitting here kind of bored, and I've got a few.

#1. An 80 year old lady in my hometown sent in a "second chance drawing" for Lotto. If you didn't match a minimum of 3 numbers out of 6, you could mail it in for a drawing. (Not sure if they do it anymore, I don't play) Anyway, they draw her name and she wins $400,000.00. But that's not the wild part.
2 years later, her name is drawn again and she wins $700,000.00!

#2. A good friend of ours was in line at a quik-mart for lotto tickets. Buddy is really broke, raising 3 little girls. The bank president in their small town comes in, he lets him go ahead. Bank prez gets a few "quik-pik" tickets, then my friend gets a few and leaves. You probably guessed it, bank pres winds with his, like 12 million. Probably already was the richest guy in town too. Doesn't even acknowledge that my buddy let him cut in ahead.

#3. Good friend of mine buys his lotto tickets after payday each Friday. Same place he stops every morning for coffee and a donut on the way to work, and the way home for cigs and a beer.

He comes in Monday morning, checks his ticket and has all 6 numbers. Starts shaking, freaking out because jackpot is like 20+ million. Calls his wife, and starts driving to lottery office. He sees a cop and pulls over, he is afraid to drive being all shakey and half out of his mind. Cop calls ahead to the lottery office he is driving him to, lottery gets the TV cameras there and is ready and waiting for him.
So buddy walks in, they start filming him and ask him to read his ticket off so they can catch it all on camera. He starts reading his ticket, the smiles vanish from their faces as they tell him "those are all last week's numbers."

The guy at the quik-mart failed to update his board with the new winning numbers. He said the only positive thing to come out of it, was he figured he'd tell his boss to kiss his A$$ after he got back from the lottery office.
