A retired South Carolina state employee took home the mega $260 million payout, the largest jackpot ever won by anyone in state. Solomon, who dropped $2.00 on the lottery said he had a “pinch me to see if I’m alive” moment after he realized he held the winning ticket.
Jackson’s chances of winning were 1 in 195 million.
Phillip Brunelle, the 29 year old from Massachusetts who recently gained international exposure for winning a combined $1m dollars after purchasing two winning lottery tickets int the same day, may be more full of crap than gulf shrimp caught after it stuffed itself at dinner.
Local police were the first to cast doubt on Brunelle’s Lottery win. Shortly after, local media began to talk about Brunelle’s sketchy past. No one can reach Phillip for comments, but he did apparently cash in a $1000.00 winning ticket. Will he shock everyone and redeem a $1m winning ticket, or was it all a hoax?
Brunelle, seen here on video, seems quite genuine. I have a bit of shame that I immediately believed this amazing story as soon as it broke. People get excited to celebrate out-of-this-world lucky occurrences, perhaps because they are hoping for one of their own. His story is somewhat sad (if it’s real). His mother suffers from cerebral palsy and just last year he was walking down a street and was hit in the head by falling concrete, requiring him to get 4 reconstructive surgeries on his face.
29 Year old Phillip Brunelle from Fall River, MASS decided he should buy one more lottery ticket after winning a $1000.00 scratch off prize earlier in the day, this past Sunday. Using his lucky penny on the Billion Dollar Bonana ($20.00) ticket he purchased, Phil revealed a $1 million dollar prize to shocked onlookers.
Brunelle, a photographer, plans to open up a studio and help his mother with his cash prizes.

Today Georgia Lottery officials awarded Patricia Taylor with a check for $5million. Talk about a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Patricia hit the jackpot when she scratched a Millionaire Extravaganza instant ticket at Petro Food Mart, in McDonough, Ga. The Georgia Lottery has offered this mega jackpot instant scratch off game for the past 15 years during the holiday season.
Taylor said she felt “lucky” and “had no immediate plans”.
Winning the lottery can get you killed, divorced, shunned from your family, and a permanent address living in a van down by the river. I just finished reading an artile called “8 lottery winners who lost their millions” and it made me realize maybe the truely lucky lotto players are those who never win!
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!
