Two people who bought lottery tickets despite never expecting to win, won anyway; one woman used her winnings to set aside money for her children’s education, and a man promptly bought her mum a new car. A syndicate composed of store staff multiplied their winning chances by 15 and managed to snag a huge lotto payout.

Lotto Max Winners Claim $50 Million After 7 Months
What would you do if you won a $50 million jackpot? There may be as many answers as the number of people asked, but it is hard to imagine winners waiting as long as seven months before making a claim; a month or two maybe, but 7 months seems almost unthinkable.
