NY Lottery:
Richard Loveless, 64 was left stunned after realising he was the winner of the $42.5 million jackpot on the 18th of October!
A normal trip to the convenience store ended with him realising he had matched up all the numbers of: 1, 9,11,16,19 and 22. He ran into his bedroom and announced his winning the lottery to his wife, Sandy who was very surprised at this announcement and started screaming.
All in all after taxes the winnings will be worth over 19.5 million, Loveless says his numbers were a mixture of mostly anniversaries and birthdays. The interesting thing about this man, is he is not the first to win from his group of friends, in the past his childhood best friend, another friend and a trio of workers at a plant where he previously worked have all hit the jackpot with prizes ranging from $2.8 million to $26 million.
Loveless plans on using the money to pay of his mortgage, his daughters student loans and finish work on his garage; however, other than that he hasn’t thought about where else the money will go. What he does know is his wealth won’t change who he is. “I want to stay the way I am, I’m a blue-collar winner and I want to die that way”
