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.

The Florida Lottery is busy with behind-the-scenes preparations for Powerball. Tickets go on sale in Florida on January 4th. The first drawing is January 7th.
Lottery spokeswoman Jackie Barreiros says computers are getting software downloads so they’ll be able to sell the tickets and workers will be putting up Powerball billboards in the coming weeks.
When Florida joins the game, Powerball will include 30 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands.
Barreiros says Florida’s preparations are right on track so far. She says the state is trying to get the word out about how the game works and how you win.
Jackpots currently start at $15 million, but that will be increased to $20 million when Florida players start buying tickets in January.
Barreiros says the Lottery Department expects Lotto sales to drop off when Powerball begins, but the agency is confident players will come back to Lotto. She says workers will be pulling down Lotto billboards and replacing them with Powerball signs, but that doesn’t mean Lotto is going away.
Each Powerball ticket will cost $1. You’ll have an option to pay an extra $1 to multiply the non-jackpot winnings.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 146 million. Good luck!
