Don't be surprised if Mr Pina's ancestors arrived here long before yours. Most NM of Hispanics descent have family roots here in the USA that go back more than 300 years.

Neither here nor there, but just as an aside, the majority of hispanics in that area of NM have been here for many generations.

congrats to this winner and i see he also kept his winning ticket out in the car. many lottery stories the winner kept the ticket in their car i dont think that is a safe hiding place.

This is really great. Look at that guy, so happy, definitely looks like he is a successful businessman, looks like he came here a few years ago and became an American and is living the dream, and has been rewarded handsomely for all his efforts.
