LOSER'S $65M WIN
COLLECTS 1 YR. AFTER TOSSING JACKPOT TIX
By REUVEN FENTON, AUSTIN FENNER and LUKAS I. ALPERT

July 10, 2008

Here's a guy who figured out how to be both the luckiest and unluckiest man on the face of the earth at the same time.

One crazy afternoon in June of last year, maintenance man Degli Martinez learned he had won a $65 million Lotto jackpot - the largest single prize in the 30-year history of the state Lotto game.

He then promptly lost the ticket.

That began a yearlong odyssey of hand-wringing and heartburn before Lottery officials were finally able to hand Martinez his check yesterday. ...

I will win the lottery one day. Probably the day before I die, but I will win it. Mark my word. If I don't, you can call my ghost a liar (Not a wise move. I'm an evil sumbitch).  :evillaugh:
