Letter to the Editor

Mega Millions jackpot grows to $135 million

With tonight's big drawing hours away, the Smyrna-Vinings Patch editor reflects on the time when he cashed in his big money Georgia Lottery ticket.

Seriously, I asked this other day, but who was the lucky person from Smyrna who hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot Monday night for $310,820?!! Got some to share?? I won the Fantasy 5 once. I bought the ticket at an East Cobb Chevron station on Sept. 30, 1998. I pinned it to a bulletin board and forgot about it. I was working for the now defunct Atlanta Sports Weekly at the time. I remember going down to Miami in late January for Super Bowl XXXIII. You know, the only one the Falcons have ever played in. They were filming "Any Given Sunday" in South Florida at the time and I met Cameron Diaz. She said I was funny. KISS performed before the game and Cher sang the National Anthem. But the Birds’ Eugene Robinson pulled his stunt and the Falcons blew it…

I play the Fantasy Five, but I usually only win a free ticket. I have had three numbers before. Congrats to Jesse. Both the Mega Millions and Powerball were won on their last draws, so the jackpots are back to $12M and $20M. And the Powerball is changing in January. A ticket is going to cost $2 and the jackpot will start at $40M. I don't like that. But they didn't ask for my opinion.   more ›
