Half of $42 million Lotto wined


Shortly after arriving in the United States from Vietnam 14 years ago, Kiet Ho says, he won $25,000 in Florida lottery games three years in a row.
Paddy Power Games is a great game in Lotteries. And nowadays, the winter in South Africa bring us great and hot opportunity in football betting. Crazy fans may be disappointed with leaving of France, Italy, Brazil football team…but they can still find the fun with football lotteries.
Since then, he has been known around Margate as a lucky guy.
On Sunday Ho's luck struck again, but this time for a customer who won half of a $42 million jackpot after purchasing a ticket from him Saturday night at the Margate Chevron Gas Station, 5200 W. Sample Road.
"I'm happy for the guy," Ho said Sunday afternoon. "I'm lucky every time."
Lottery officials did not identify holders of the two winning tickets, from Margate and Port Charlotte, on Sunday.
But Ho said he thinks one of the winners was a man to whom he sold a ticket at about 9:30 Saturday night.
He said the man asked him to sell him a "good one."
"When I said, 'Good luck, see you tomorrow,' he said, 'I will come back and give you some,'" Ho said.
Ho said the man called him at the gas station early Sunday morning, asking what the winning numbers were. When Ho said the numbers 10-11-18-24-26-35, the man said: "Oh, my God, I have all the numbers. I won."
Ho did not know the man's name, but described him as a man in his 30s who comes to the station on Saturdays.

He said the man didn't return Sunday after the phone call.
A total of 235 tickets matched five numbers to win $4,641.50; 13,189 tickets matched four numbers for $67; and 267,136 tickets matched three numbers for $4.50, according to the Florida Lottery officials in Tallahassee.
Lottery officials said the station will get $22,500, but Ho and other employees said the money would go to the Chevron Co., not the person who sold the ticket.
Some customers said they weren't surprised that Ho, 44, of Coconut Creek, sold the winning ticket.
Norma Albarracin, a Publix employee who worked with Ho at a store near the station, said he always won the scratch-off game when he worked there.
She said when she heard the Chevron had sold one of the winning tickets, she knew Ho was involved. "He's very lucky," she said. "He always wins."
Kip Glueck, 51, a Margate resident, said he purchased $150 worth of tickets from the Chevron station hoping to win the $42 million jackpot because it's a lucky store.
"I've gotten more than 500 winners out of here," said Glueck. "That's why I come by here every morning."
