This bartender waited 6 months to claim his $1mil lottery prize from a scratch off new york stat lotto ticket. Who wins the lottery and waits 6 months to pick up their prize?? This guy must really be rich or smoking a copious amount of marijuana to wait that long. Was he torturing himself every single day thinking about crazy ways that $ could just disappear and no one would ever believe he actually won the lottery (like someone stealing the ticket or his house burning down).
I guess we will never know. I hope he has fun with all that money.
He did not wish to release his name. The only information floating around is that he is a retired public service employee from Wichita. Either way he’s rich, and I hope he starts blowing that money as fast as possible. That family is going to have a good Christmas. Hopefully this won’t be a death nail for him and his family. He better setup a very good Will and let everyone know how it’s going to play out or they will fight about it the rest of their life. On that note, congrats unnamed 72yo winner!
The Powerball jackpot will now be an estimated $25mil for Wednesday’s Drawing.

The buyer of a Hot Lotto ticket in south-central Kansas is $12.2 million richer, but still hasn’t came forward! I hope they didn’t lose their ticket or throw their gum away in it.
