Charlie Crouch knows how to throw a party – especially after winning $200,000.
With a nickname like Crazy Charlie, this kind of thing should be expected. He has lots of friends in the biker community, and invited them all to a party with full buffet and live music. This was all to celebrate his recently lottery win.
The party was attended by lots of bikers and local residents, some of whom have been friends with Crazy Charlie for more than 20 years.
I guess you could say Lynn Hagerbrant is a very cautious person. In fact, she is so cautious and conservative that some people would be surprised to find out that she plays the lottery at all.
She knew she had won the jackpot of $8.8 million the day after the drawing. But she waited almost 9 months before turning in the winning ticket.
What did she do during that time?
Mostly, she consulted with her lawyers. She wanted to be sure she did the right thing so that her family’s estate was protected, and so that her children would be guaranteed added security for the future.
If you were going to buy 4 lottery tickets, wouldn’t you buy 4 different sets of numbers? That way, you have 4 chances of winning in case only one of those sets came up.
The only exception to that would be if you knew what the winning numbers were going to be. Then, of course, you would buy only that set of numbers.
That is what Verlyn Adamson and Judith Adamson did. Verlyn says he has a system for predicting the winning Lottery numbers.
Bobby Guffey has played the same numbers in the Indiana Lottery for years. The numbers represent various ages and birth dates.
Recently when he bought a ticket, it was dark inside the store and he didn’t have his reading glasses. When he got outside in the daylight, he realized that the last number he chose was an accidental 48 when he meant for it to be a 46.
That mistake won him $3 million.
Interestingly, after he realized he bought the wrong numbers, he went back inside the store to buy another ticket with the “right” numbers.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a job that you love so much that you would keep working even if you didn’t have to? That seems to be the case with Bob and Pat Green.
Together, they own and operate a motorcycle repair garage. Bob says he will continue running the business for as long as he enjoys doing it.
The Greens recently won the UK Lotto jackpot, which means they are US$4.3 million richer.
Pat was at home the morning she discovered they had won.
