Four Time Lottery Winner is a Mystery

The odds that Joan Ginther would hit four Texas Lottery jackpots for a combined nearly $21 million are astronomical. Mathematicians say the chances are as slim as 1 in 18 septillion -- that's 18 and 24 zeros.

Just as unlikely? Getting to know one of the luckiest women in the world.

Frankly I didnt even know there was a septillion. 4 times...thats a little overwhelming. I find it odd that a person would keep playing after winning once.

Anything I say about the content of that news report is capable of bringing a legal response to the owner of the site, so I'm not going to.

That in and of itself is inflammatory, libelous and constitutes defamation of character. Nice going Spockers.

Par for the course then, eh?

Ah.

Sadly, though, it's a True Story.
