Apparently using a selection of family birthdays, and throwing in a lucky number actually works when picking lottery numbers. Check this out.
A 56-year-old married woman has won half of the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot in U.S. history and has taken the cash option, which after taxes, will be about $120 million, Georgia Lottery President Debbie Alford said Wednesday.
Ira Curry, of Stone Mountain, came to the lottery office with the winning ticket of hand-picked numbers, a mix of family birthdays and the lucky number 7.
Two tickets matched the winning numbers in Tuesday night’s $648 million jackpot. Curry’s half of the cash option comes to $173,819,742.50, before federal taxes (25%) and Georgia taxes (6%), officials said.
According to CNN’s calculation, the payout will net her $119,935,622.32.
Holy hell! No word yet on whether she’ll split the cash with the relatives whose birthdays she used.
