i would believe that someone won on their first ticket only if they were either under 18 or had just turned 18 otherwise its alot like a chick saying she's a virgin for the umpteenth time. people who play the same numbers for years though - if you do that - dventually the one time you forget to play the odds that combo will come up are multiplied by 1000.
