Mario Scarnici of Monmouth Junction claimed his share of the prize, which amounts to $86 million before taxes. Two of the three winning tickets in the August 7 drawing were sold in the state, according to a New Jersey Lottery statement released on Friday. He purchased his ticket from the Super Stop & Shop supermarket in South Brunswick Township. Jose Perez, a night manager at the Stop & Shop, said the winning ticket has been great for business and that employees are thrilled that the winner came forward to claim his prize. “We were happy first of all that we sold it,” said Perez in a telephone interview. “We sold a ticket before but nobody claimed it.” The store received a $30,000 bonus commission for selling the ticket, and will give that money to charity. According to a report on the CentralJersey.com web site, Scarnici came forward with his two adult sons to claim his prize. He chose the cash option and will get about $62 million after taxes. Members of a group of 16 Ocean County maintenance workers with a winning ticket will each receive about $3.8 million after taxes. The group, known as Ocean’s 16, bought the Powerball numbers at the Acme Markets in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Scarnici could not be reached for comment, nor could a representative for the state lottery. Paul White, an engineer from Ham Lake, Minnesota, was the other winner. The odds of winning the jackpot were about one in 175 million. (Reporting by David Jones; Editing by Mary Wisniewski and Xavier Briand)

Hes bigger, faster, stronger and more confident than he was this time last year. Plus hes still the same athletic freak. The same genetic lottery winner that granted him the balance of Baryshnikov with the step of a springbok. That confidence isnt just in himself its also in his grasp of head coach Kevin Sumlins offense. While we’re on that subject, all the Kliff Kingsbury fan-boys/hand-wringers would be well served to remember this is Sumlins doing, not Kliffs. Sumlin is the playwright, and Manziel his museif a muse can sprint a 4.4 40 while changing direction like the wind. All while possessing a more than adequate arm. Dont expect the rest of the SEC to have caught up with Sumlin and Co., either it often takes a few years for a conference to adjust to something as foreign and special as what Sumlin has created. As for Johnny, not only is he better today than he was a year ago, he once again has a lot of help around him. Senior tackle Jake Matthews returned to anchor an offensive line that includes Jarvis Harrison and Cedric Ogbuehi. All three are not long for the NFL. Behind them is an embarrassment of riches at tailback. Senior Ben Malena returns after starting 2012, although he will have to share the spotlight with others, including Sooners transfer Brandon Williams. Then theres 6-0, 228-pound Oregon transfer Tra Carson behind him…all fighting to keep Trey Williams off the field. 6-5, 225-pound sophomore receiver Mike Evens should step nicely into the number 1 role, while Holmes, Pope and Kennedy, plus more in the wings, should provide ample targets to help Manziel spread the field. If thats not frightening enough, add to that a schedule that brings Bama to College Station and swapped out Florida for Vandy. Finally, if https://www.rebelmouse.com/lottocashmachine/ you think Manziel wont be focused when he steps back between the lines, the SEC Coaches all but made sure he would be razor sharp thanks to voting the reigning Heisman winner just second best in his own conference. A snub of that magnitude will get anyones attention let alone if theyre the kind of guy that keeps a chip on his shoulder. Not to mention a guy who plays exceptionally well with said chip. Need we remind you of the second half of 2012, when all the naysayers hit full chorus? How Manziel responded?

According to New York Gaming Commission rules, winners have up to one year to claim their prize. New York Lottery officials have been urging players to check their tickets for the winning numbers: 1-6-7-20-49, Powerball 23, and come forward before the ticket expires. “We’re hopeful the lucky winner has already signed the ticket and is making plans to claim it before it’s too late,” said Gardner Gurney, acting director of the Division of the Lottery. The New York Gaming Commission uses all means possible to get the word out when it is presented with an unclaimed prize, including news media and social media, said Christy Calicchia, spokesperson for the commission. Sandy victims among the ‘Ocean’s 16’ Powerball winners To claim the money, the winner must present the ticket at any one of New York’s seven customer service centers during business hours. Since the one-year anniversary of the ticket’s purchase falls on a Sunday, the winner would technically need to have presented the ticket by the close of business Friday, said Calicchia. It is unclear how the situation would be handled if the ticket were to be turned in on Monday, she said. Lottery winners may also turn in winning tickets by mail. As long as the ticket is postmarked by August 25, it will be deemed valid. The gaming commission will be monitoring incoming mail to see if the ticket turns up, Calicchia said. New York state has seen several prizes go unclaimed, the largest of which was drawn more than a decade ago. In 2002, the owner of a winning ticket sold in Brooklyn never came forward to collect the $68 million prize. It remains the highest jackpot to go unclaimed in New York Lottery history.
