18-08-2009

Edward Williams (47), a Kansas lottery player won this week on the lottery a very large amount of money. This is his second major win in one year, reports Earth Times.

Super Kansas Cash

Williams, who is a resident of Wichita, won 75.000 Dollar last September playing a 10 Dollar scratch ticket. He challenged the odds again, on a Wednesday, when in the Super Kansas Cash drawing, he matched all the numbers to win a jackpot of nearly 900.000 Dollar.

Two jackpots

“I figured, when I won the 70.000 Dollar, lightning struck once and I won’t ever hit again,” said Williams. “This one knocked me down!” To collect his big win he traveled Friday to Topeka. The jackpot is, after taxes are withheld, worth 627.541 Dollar. “I bought a car, when I won the 75.000 Dollar and put the rest into a CD.” “This time I am going to save that money for my retirement at 55 I hope,” said the gambling winner.

Superenalotto

Williams, a single ex-marine, had been gambling for more than 17 years. The Italian media reporting, in related news, that the Superenalotto draw again did not came up with a winner so the record jackpot is now on a amount of 127.5 million Euro.
