It is not uncommon for someone to die from winning the lottery. One such victim was Craigory Burch, Jr., who won $434,272 in a Georgia jackpot in November 2015. In February 2016, seven masked men killed him in front of his family. They claimed that winning the lottery had made him a target. In the same vein, Abraham Shakespeare, who won a $30 million lottery prize in 2006, was killed by a woman named Dorice Moore. She had posed as a financial adviser to Shakespeare and subsequently stole his money. She eventually killed Shakespeare.

The size of a lottery jackpot can attract players, but it is important to keep in mind that every ticket has an equal chance of winning. It is important to play within realistic expectations. In addition, it is important to understand the odds of winning. While every lottery jackpot is big, it does not mean that anyone can walk away with it. In fact, every lottery jackpot is claimed eventually by someone. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t hope for the jackpot and take a chance.

A $21.6 million lottery jackpot has been won in a drawing on March 14, and the winner has yet to claim the prize. As a result, many Americans have caught the lottery fever. The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have reached over $400 million each. While these jackpots are smaller than Mega Millions, they are the fifth largest in U.S. history. The winning ticket was purchased in a small town in Maryland.
