I certainly hope so! But I've no idea what they may or may not have done.

This isnt a good time to be a big winner in NY with either a scratch off or online ticket. If a player wins more than $600 they must take their ticket to a NY Lottery Claim Center. I'd be OK with mailing in a $1000 winner, but a multi-thousand dollar (or larger) winner is a different story. G5

I wonder how many Take5 jackpots have been won that have yet to be paid? No way I'd mail them a jackpot winner if I had a five out of five.

Same thing for scratch off's. How many big winner scratch off tickets have yet to be claimed since the pandemic started and the offices were closed?? G5

Let's hope one of them shows some efficacy; way too early in the game. Anyway bought some more Moderna stock yesterday even though it is much more expensive than my previous purchase.

We have to see how long the immune response is as you probably have read a few folks who had COVID-19, recovered and had antibodies, got it again.
