- 0:29Speaker 2: Bowl is five hundred and ninety three million dollars a lot.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Of money, and that of course you have to buy
- 0:33Speaker 1: a ticket and pick the numbers and.
- 0:34Speaker 2: All that, and the odds slim mega millions. Somebody won
- 0:37Speaker 2: in Georgia that was like over eight hundred million. This
- 0:40Speaker 2: couple out of Tom's River is now four million dollars
- 0:43Speaker 2: richer because of scratch off tickets, not one, but two
- 0:46Speaker 2: back to back, pretty much right pretty close, just six
- 0:49Speaker 2: months apart. They won a million dollars on a scratch
- 0:52Speaker 2: off half a year ago. They stop at a gas
- 0:56Speaker 2: station just recently. Again this is Tom's River, New Jersey,
- 0:59Speaker 2: pulled over get some gas bought another scratch off. The
- 1:02Speaker 2: wife that you know is sitting in the passenger seat,
- 1:06Speaker 2: and husband said he knew they won because she held
- 1:09Speaker 2: the scratch off to her chest. Thankfully she is five
- 1:13Speaker 2: months pregnant with their third child.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Good for that.
- 1:15Speaker 2: And they just won three million dollars.
- 1:19Speaker 1: So a million dollars and then three million dollars.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Put it all together, it's what have you got?
- 1:23Speaker 1: You got four you got four million.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You can afford a house in New Jersey.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And pay some taxes in New Jersey. But great, you know,
- 1:30Speaker 1: with the growing family they have, Yes, that's awesome.
- 1:32Speaker 2: It's beautiful for them. So now I'm thinking, change strategy.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Maybe we don't go for these big mega millions right right?
- 1:39Speaker 1: You know you could. But you know what though, the
- 1:41Speaker 1: real payoffs, in my opinion, from scratch offs come when
- 1:44Speaker 1: you buy the ten or the twenty dollar ones. I mean, yeah,
- 1:47Speaker 1: you could win a million dollars, I guess with a
- 1:49Speaker 1: dollar scratch off, But I feel like the big numbers
- 1:52Speaker 1: are usually like in the ten dollars tickets, maybe.
- 1:54Speaker 2: The twenty tickets, Oh you got a spring for those?
- 1:56Speaker 2: I think, I think, do you know around the holidays,
- 1:59Speaker 2: those are kind of like to give his presents right.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Right, and you kind of hope deep down inside that
- 2:03Speaker 1: your friend doesn't win big. Like you say, I hope
- 2:07Speaker 1: you win big. But deep down inside, Doway, if I
- 2:09Speaker 1: gave away a million dollars.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Well, they would share with you, don't you?
- 2:12Speaker 1: You would hope? You would hope.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I mean I would with you, Cubby, I know you
- 2:16Speaker 2: wouldn't I would with you. I'm putting it out there,
- 2:17Speaker 2: all right, So buy me some scratch.
