I would license mine into a dart game. I would call it I won the lottery and you did not. ALL the sore losers could throw darts at my check. Lol

I would hang my check in a spare guest bathroom.

Yea, I think I would save it, but where could I put it

Lol Would you save your big cardboard check

Comment #23

haymaker — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 15:52:35 GMT

Yup, I agree about the game face, that would be my expression...that is if the big check was not hiding my face

Comment #22

Artist77 — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 15:40:03 GMT

Lol I agree with both of you. But again, you do not want to be too giddy so maybe that is his game face. Or maybe the idea of sharing does not make him happy. I am not sure how those simple observations make you sad little people.

All pictures I've seen from every angle do not show Mr. Busking showing any joy whatsoever.

The rules require that you do the dog and pony show and let them take your picture. The rules don't require you to smile and be happy about it.

Y'ALL ARE SAD LITTLE PEOPLE! (I don't mean everyone that wrote a post just these two In particular)

Ever think he may not be feeling well, has an Illness that would not be written In this Post, If you look real close at his mouth eyes you can see he has a smile, no his Teeth aren't sticking out, mine don't either only If I'm laughing an smiling, I smile with my eyes mostly...

Perhaps It just hasn't sunk In yet how much money they now have!!!!!

Dana, I noticed the same thing.

I'm wondering if he knows that Mrs. Busking is about to divorce him and start looking for a new man and a new adventure. No mention of anything fun they plan to do together . All pictures I've seen from every angle do not show Mr. Busking showing any joy whatsoever.

I think he knows he's about to be replaced by this man

UUHH They did that's why It states In the story they received $246,million...

The Big PB winner received $346,million, and the PB was double the amount then MM was!

He looks like he hasn't slept since they Won or perhaps he's worn out from all the Hoopla that surrounds you In the beginning?

In any case A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TOO THEM BOTH, ENJOY, HAVE FUN, GO TRAVEL, ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT AN MAY GOD BLESS YOU BOTH WITH LONG HEALTHY LIVES

Sure was. Congrats to them. That's enough money for a whole hog barbecue and all the trimmings.

Congratulations to the two of them (I forgot all about this win). Glad they got the money before Illinois said IOU, but as one LP member said if they pulled that stunt again, PB MM would probably pull out permanently.

Congratulations to Joe Patricia Busking !!!

These two record making jackpots have taught me that: I will never tell any other player how they should choose their numbers. All of us who play are 18 years or older and we should be smart enough to make that decision on our own.

Patricia used quick pick while Mavis L. Wancyzk picked her lucky winning numbers.

I will not say, Pick some high and low numbers . NO Mavis won with her families birthday numbers.

I feel privileged to be ab... [ More ]

Money is old, but do good for others. Only real joy in life. Maybe a couple of adventures too, why not? Good luck to the winner, do good for others. The only thing that means anything. Fix the budget Illinois

Patricia looks pretty bright eyed and happy.....Joe on the other hand kinda gives me the impression his IBS maybe starting to act up

I truly hope hope their win brings them much joy and happiness for years to come

An occasional player that buys tickets when jackpots are really high and always buys quick picks

Could be describing me...hmm...I make homemade steak sandwiches though

I took a gander at the related stories dealing with jackpot winners from illinois, and almost all are- were retired. Live long prosper.

They waited some time and good for them. Smart move on their part. They consulted different people. They will be fine.

Congrats to them :]

Smart to wait a couple weeks and to claim when the country is more interested in a larger jackpot winner.
