why congrats pikeguy?

[pinche]

just teasing him. The whole wisconson cheese thing.

The ticket was sold in my home town of Fond du Lac at Ma and Pa's convenience store.  It's on the "miracle mile" where a few other big jackpot tickets have been sold.  It's the store where I used to bum around during my lunch hours in high school.  My dad buys his tickets at that very same store...  we were that close.

That's just mean . I thought my luck was changing and I'd maybe won something 

[pinche]

I saw that it wasnt the first 1 million dollar ticket sold there. Weird  

[archbishop]

Did you mean $100 million?

I can't remember what they get for selling the winning ticket, but it must be pretty sizable.  They knocked down their old building, bought the ajoining lot, and built a gigantic new store after they sold the winning ticket last time.
