When Dawn Jones reported back to both of her nursing jobs, she got disbelieving stares from her workmates.  Apparently, it is quite surprising to see a $7 million winner back at work.

There are a couple of instant ticket players who won big money this week.  A factory worker won $2 million and a great grandma won a million dollars within two weeks of winning a thousand dollars from the same game.

Michael Owenby got thirsty helping his friend shop for a car, so he went to the M&S Food on Patton Avenue in Asheville.  While at the store he decided to buy $5, $10, and $20 tickets and got extremely lucky.

This time luck visited a parking lot attendant from Wilmington.  Terry Wallington said he cried tears of joy on learning he had won a million dollars playing the Powerball lottery.

Trenton resident Dawn Jones works as a full time nurse at a hospital in North Jersey and a part-time one in South Jersey.  Yet after she learned that she had won the lottery she still went to work!

The good thing about big lottery wins is that they can be shared.  After winning half of a $60 million Lotto Max jackpot, Ashman Kennedy plans to give away most of his winnings to his family.

Many lottery players believe in hunches – Georgia man John Brannon is one of them.

Brannon had a hunch he would win so he bought two Silver Peach instant tickets at a gas station. 

By now we’ve probably heard about dozens of lucky ‘formulas’ for winning the lottery.  Some believe in dreams, fortune cookies, urges, and lots of other ‘systems’. 

The “$300,000,000 Golden Ticket” Scratchers game has been kind to Doris Danielson.  The past week she won $1,000 and this week she won an even million dollars.

Retired factory worker Maggie Pendergast and her friend Steve Kerr have won a million pounds and a trip to Brazil.

The lucky pair have been playing as a syndicate for a while and each buy two Euromillions tickets per week.
