Gold? Jewels? NY lottery winner just wants burge

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

NEW YORK (AP) — Would you like a few million dollars worth of fries with that?

New Yorker Jimmy Groves says his first inclination after collecting his $168 million lottery prize was to “buy a hamburger.”

There was no mention of pricey kobe (KOH’-bee) beef, either.

Groves, who calls himself “a regular guy,” bought his winning ticket at a Bronx grocery store.

The Madison Square Garden laborer said Tuesday he’ll also set aside money for his son’s and grandchild’s education. And, who knows? He may even buy a house.

Friday, September 4th, 2009

The California Lottery today announced that the big winner of one-half of the incredible $336 million MEGA Millions jackpot from last week has come forward to claim his winnings.

Kevyn Ogawa came to the Lottery’s Van Nuys District Office yesterday with the California ticket that matched the August 28 winning combination of 37, 1, 17, 31, 54 and Mega number 31. Ogawa, who preferred not to be interviewed, elected to take the cash option, making his take home amount worth about $107 million.

The winning ticket was purchased at Kim Ky Noodle, which is located at 1108 South San Gabriel Boulevard in San Gabriel. The other half of the $336 million jackpot was won by a ticket sold in New York. Kim Ky Noodle, will receive a bonus of $832,500 for selling their portion of the jackpot.

Counting Ogawa’s winning ticket, there have been 10 MEGA Millions jackpots won in California, including the historic $315 million jackpot won on November 15, 2005, which was the largest California jackpot ever. MEGA Millions is a multi-state game that is played in California and 11 other states.
