Charts of lottery winners:
I haven't looked into these charts, but here's specific data on real lottery winners for this study if anyone's interested.
FRED DRAGO
Won: $500,000
Occupation: police officer
Born: Aug 11 1929
5:30 AM CST +6:00
Mobile, AL
Purchased winning ticket: Apr 30, 1982 at 3:30 pm
Location of purchased ticket: The McDonald's which is located at- CDT 88w07, 30n41
KENNETH GREENE
Won: $13,000,000
Occupation: Truck Driver
Born: Jan 3, 1958
6:16PM EST +5:00
Seekonk, MA
Purchased winning ticket: Nov 25, 1992
Date when realized he had purchased the winning ticket: Deceber 21, 1992
*Notes: On Nov 25 the clerk in error sold Ken a ticket for MegaBucks instead of the lesser winning Massachusetts Mass Cash Ticket that he asked for. Ken had no idea that the ticket he was mistakenly given hadn't had a winner for 7 weeks and that the prize had accumulated to 13 million. When recieving their check wife Joanne kept laughing and crying like a mad woman and nearly passed out twice. No doubt after working two jobs, taking care of a disabled husband and children she was near breaking point and couldn't believe that their troubles were over just like that. I find this story particularly inspirational because it reminds me that even when you hit rock bottom you have no idea what's going to happen that can make it all turn around. Sometimes what seems like bad luck is actually good luck in disguise. Kenneth probably thought "****- that moron gave me the wrong ticket...but what seemed like more bad luck was actually the best they could've imagined.

MATE OF A LOTTERY WINNER FOR FURTHER STUDY:
James Mclaughlin

0:52AM EST +500
Boston MA
Wife purchased winning ticket: Dec 13, 1991
*Notes: I wonder if marrying someone with certain lucky aspects can up your own luck as well. I mean- if an astrologically predisposed jackpot winner marries an astrologically predisposed spouse of a jackpot winner does that up the chances of the predisposed winner to win? Oh well- Inner ramblings of my mind.
