Next time I will go to the hood to buy me a ticket.

It's different than PCSO's lottery draw in my country.

I live in South Carolina and it wasn't me 😢

Is this the first time someone from the hood won $1 billion? This is maybe the 2nd largest jackpot. Maybe I'll buy a mega millions this Friday, but in a different city from where I live. too bad the owner has to be identified and can't be anonymous.
