Stillwater? More Like Stillwinning…

September 18, 2008 am616541

Since last October four people from Stillwater, New York have been million dollar winners. The most recent winner  won off a 500 Million Dollar Extravaganza scratch off ticket which, was purchased at a local Stewart’s. This ticket will pay 34,000 dollars a year (after taxes) for 20 years.

Other lucky Stillwater residents won off:

  • Win for life last October.
  • The Merry Money instant scratch off ticket in January.
  • The Cashtastic instant scratch off ticket in July.

I can’t seem to get over the fact that this many people in Stillwater have won a million dollars. I jokingly said to my step father earlier that four people is half of Stillwater’s population. In all seriousness the population of Stillwater is 7,522 which, in my opinion, is pretty small for the amount of winners.

This kind of makes me wonder about the saying you have more of a chance to win the lottery than get stuck by lightning…YIKES.

Now I’m off to Stewart’s to buy myself a lottery ticket. Maybe I’ll be the fifth Stillwater resident to win a million dollars. Keep your fingers crossed.

    All seriousness that makes sense. First you don’t want to trade taxes you’re not familiar with. The fact is that it lets you leverage taxes you trade, so you can make more money on the lottery.

    Odd first comment …
    THANK YOU for including Stillwater’s population. The news about the lottery and the fact about the population make the story. Also, you added links and some formatting.

    Watch your grammar and punctuation. Commas needed before “which” at least twice and after “Stillwater, New York”.

    1.0

    As the familiar saying: “Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have.” (Samuel Butler)
