Could you have taken the money all at once? (Or, a la JoeCamel, could you have decided on 26 annual payments

I presume the $10,000 was paid to you in lump sum. If only JoeCamel had the choice of lump sum INSTEAD of his annuity.Well, I was paid one year $5,000 and another year $5,000.I had that done cause of Taxes....

Fat chance still means you can still do it and that it won't need 50,000 years to do it. You could play for 200,000 years and still never win.

Sorry, but statistics DO mimic reality. If you spend $50 dollars per drawing, the odds that you will win three times in a row is 1 in 1.97 * 10^19. You could very well win three times in a row? Fat chance.

No, he's actually JoeCamel ANNUITY. If _YOU_ ever win, make sure your prize is paid to you in LUMP SUM.

It would have been better if Joe got his prize in LUMP SUM. However, there was NO cash option available.

Yeah right congrats, Joe. I am jealous of him and anyone else who is rich. I wonder how people can afford BMW's and Mercedes? I guess they too won the lottery.

Joe won in 1994 in Pennsylvania. The game he won on no longer exists. The game DID NOT have a cash option.

Congrats man.See this 1 win every 51,979 years thing sounds great on paper. But statistics don't mimic reality. In fact, even though the odds are astronimically low, I could very well win three times in a row. If I do I'll be sure to send you guys some cash.

Did you really? What state was that in? Congratulations!!!Just a few questions, if you don't mind...did you win on a quick pick or your own numbers? Do you get a check the same time every year?Do you pay additional taxes or just what they withhold? Did you decide to keep working? How did the win change you both positively and negative. Sorry for all the ?? but I always wanted to ask a winner, thanks for sharing your input.
