Scratchers Winner Margaret Kilian Banks $100,000
Margaret Kilian bought a Funky 5′s scratch off lottery ticket. As many of us do she sat in her car getting silver dust all over the place, crossing her fingers for a win of maybe $10 or even $50.
So she couldn’t believe it when she realised she had just won $100,000. Margaret was stunned and just started shaking. It wasn’t an easy drive home she said, but thankfully she made it in one piece.
Margaret lives in Vacherie, Louisiana with her husband and daughter. She had planned to take their daughter to Disney World last year. But sadly her husband was laid off from work preventing the trip. Now of course the trip is back on thanks to the Funky 5 lottery scratchers. A large part of the rest of the her winnings will go to paying off the car loan and mortgage, making daily life much easier.
Secret Russian Lottery System Hits $35 Million on Mega Millions
Abraham and Celia Silverbush hit the big time with a $35 Million win on Mega Millions, announced this morning.
Also revealed was that they used a lottery system to secure the huge win. Abraham said he and his wife routinely pooled their money together with their five children to buy tickets, and then applied a Russian lottery system to the numbers they chose. And it’s not the first time they’ve had a good win either:-
I stick with 16 numbers, supplement with a Russian system … which tells you how to utilize those numbers so you don’t get mixed up. Twenty-two thousand dollars was the most we’ve ever won in the past. Far from $35,000,000.
So what are this wealthy family from Syracuse, New York going to do with their big win?
Abraham, 77, says he doesn’t actually need anything, and doesn’t actually want to buy anything really. His wife Celia would like to buy a new house because the stairs are getting hard to deal with.
I would like to keep the house — maybe one of the kids could live in it, but I’d buy a house on one floor in the same area. I do like the city of Syracuse.
Both of the hard working couple plan to keep their jobs, as all their children do too. They intend to remain true to who are they are but just with a little more spending money.
The Silverbush family chose the lump sum option for their jackpot, so take home around $14.6 million after taxes.
