We beat the odds where I work
 

This happened Sunday night, but I found out about it Monday when I went to work.....there's one happy person up here in Suanville (and 2 happy people down in San Diego).

Congrats

(Just for curiosity, is Suanville a neighbor or neighborhood of Susanville (formerly Rooptown)? At least one house in Suanville is for sale: [URL]http://www.neighborcity.com/property/704-460-Anita-Dr-Suanville-CA-96130--32966911/[/URL] ) :-)

In fact, our store is just down the street and around the corner from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roop's_Fort"]Roop's Fort[/URL].

[SIZE="1"]D*mn fat fingers, anyway, I hate missing typos! It's nice to see that I'm not the only one.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]PS. The customer came in today to check if it really was his ticket that won. He's a very nice retired gentleman that can use the money to spoil his grandkids.

PPS. The lottery pays a bounty to retailers that sell jackpot winners, so I expect we'll be getting a check for a whopping [SPOILER]$83[/SPOILER] from our district rep for our cut. ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 1%.)[/SIZE]

In the 20 years I've been there, this is our 4th winner that's won more than petty change. (The biggest one was a MegaMillions winner who matched 5/5 for $168,000 in '12.)
