“August 26, 2015 - Daryl B. normally picks his own numbers on the occasions that he plays Mega Millions and Powerball. But on the day he visited Mifflin Town Mart in Mifflintown, Penn., he was in a bit of a hurry.
“‘I asked the clerk to give me quick picks for Mega Millions and Powerball, and also an instant game - which turned out to be a $4 winner,’ Daryl said with a laugh. But Daryl wasn’t done winning quite yet.
“A few days later, he got a call from his daughter who asked if he had played Mega Millions at Mifflin Town Mart, because local news was reporting the store had sold a big winner. ‘I grabbed the ticket out of my car and pulled up the results on the computer. When I saw the numbers, I yelled for my wife Ginger to come quickly.’
“Ginger looked at the ticket and back at the computer screen. Daryl’s ticket matched five numbers from the August 21 Mega Millions drawing, winning a $1 million prize!”
Go out and your buy tickets now for tonight’s big game for chance at $84 million. Until the day you win big, keep hoping and stop working. -- Brick Dozer.
