A Georgia man spent two dollars and became an instant millionaire after his ticket matched all six numbers of a recent mega-millions drawing.
Robert Harris is the winner of a $270-million jackpot.
He and his wife, Tonya, have chosen the lump sum payout of 164 million.
Harris is originally from Augusta, but now lives in Portal with his family.
Harris’s ticket purchase almost didn’t happen.
When he first stopped at Clyde’s Convenience Store in Portal to play the lottery, there was a power outage.
Later, he told his wife to go back and play the numbers; which are based on his grandchildren’s birthdays.

Hey Lisa,

See the good advice posted by Anonymous.

And if Oprah says it doesn’t hurt to ask- ask HER!  She is sitting on a lot BIGGER lottery than Mr. and Mrs. Harris!

Now, time to go hide and retire before relatives and friends you never heard of try to con you out of the money. I am so glad not only an American won, but a Georgian. You are set for life, but hiring a lawyer and a financial adviser should be first. Tell the relatives and so called friends to drop dead....if you want to keep it.
