Do you play powerball (lottery)?

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't play powerball or lottery, but for those who do, maybe buying retailers' "mistakes" is the way to go. I don't know what retailers put aside as mistakes, but seems to be a winning strategy for this guy.



Officials say Joseph Palmarchuk won a $1.35 million lottery jackpot Wednesday in Michigan’s Classic Lotto 47 game. In the past few years, Palmarchuk has also won a $1 million lottery game in Tennessee.

Palmarchuk and wife Phillis moved to Mecosta County, north of Grand Rapids, in 2011. He says he likes to buy lottery tickets that retailers put aside as mistakes.

The Palmarchuks plan to hunt for a condominium in a warm state to skip Michigan winters.

Pretty damn lucky. What are the odds? (I looked around, couldn't find the odds attached to any of the stories about Palmarchuk).
