Unfortunately not in any significant way, but I least I have met the father via the father of my sister in law. So at least I finally know, or knew somebody, who won big. Even if it is pretty vicariously.

Its just kind of cool that someone I know is real, and exists, won one of these lotto's Jackpots. I've known people who have won thousands, even had a co worker who won $200,000 when I was a teacher, but never a multi-million dollar jackpot winner. Let alone $100 Million+, before Taxes.

Probably only $2.00 after taxes.

That is pretty neat. Now you can tell them they have no more excuses to play C&C.

Neat. By extension, we all sort of know you, and so, we sort of know them.... so, umm, can I borrow like $50?

my best friends father-in-law won 6.6mln 2 months ago.... up here in Canada, you keep what you win, so a 6.6mln jackpot means you get a tax-free cheque for 6.6mln.

him and 2 other friends split a 20mln jackpot.. pretty sweet

Cheers,
