It wasn't a $100-million-plus Mega Millions prize she collected, but Cynthia C. of New Waterford, Ohio, was more than happy with her $250,000 second prize win. I, too, was excited to hear from Cynthia about her win.
"I won $250,000 last Nov. 11 in my home state of Ohio, playing the Mega Millions lottery game," Cynthia wrote to me. "I have your Lottery Master Guide book, Advantage Plus, and Wheel Five Plus software"
"While playing I look for Flag Formations, Double Bottoms, and Trend Reversals," Cynthia continued. "Then, I check different charts, for some added information, including Drawings Since Hit, Games Out, and Quick Stats being my favorites. When I hit this prize, I used Wheel Five Plus with 30 numbers, 1 Power Number, for 76 games [Power Wheel #53030-1], including a win $3 with 3 numbers right. I have hit many small prizes of $150 and am looking forward to many more wins using your system. In my eyes, it's the best"
Cynthia attached her Mega Millions lottery claim form to her e-mail. The claim form did look official and was signed and stamped by a notary public. Nevertheless, when I have the slightest doubt about the authenticity of a jackpot winner, I call the state lottery for verification.
Once, while I was giving a lottery seminar in New York City, a man claimed he had won some millions of dollars with my systems. He was so excited and grateful that everyone in the class, including me, believed him. I gave him free copies of all my books and software. That evening, he was a star. Other students wanted to touch him for luck. He promised to send me a copy of his check for verification - which never came. When I called the lottery, I learned that he had never won anything over $600.
My policy to confirm and verify before publicizing a winner has saved me from what could have been a major embarrassment. Since that first attention-craving fake winner, I have heard from others whose wins could not be verified with their state lottery office. Needless to say, they are not members of the exclusive Club of Gail Howard Lottery Jackpot Winners.
Now, you can imagine my disappointment when I called the Ohio Lottery and they had no record of Cynthia's $250,000 win on November 11, 2008. So, I wrote to her: "When I talked to an individual at the Ohio Lottery, I was very disappointed to learn that there was no record of Cynthia C. winning anything. If you have a copy of your check or some other proof, or even a proof of a bank deposit for $250,000, I would like to see it. Otherwise, sad to say, I am deleting you from the Club of Gail Howard's Lottery Jackpot Winners. You may keep the flash drive but you will not be entitled to receive any of our new programs unless you come up with proof of your win -- or unless you win again"
Cynthia responded to me quickly: "I have made copies of my claim form and my ticket, bank deposit, and bottom half of the check after taxes. I did not think to make a copy of the check. I had asked at the lottery office that they not give out any information on me -- just as I am asking you to keep my last name private"
Cynthia's bank statement on December 12, 2008, showed a deposit of $172,500 that she received after taxes were withheld for her $250,000 Mega Millions win.
Cynthia also had this to say about herself: "I am 61 years old and have been driving an 18-wheeler for the past 8 years with my second husband of 10 years. Before that, I drove a six-wheeler and worked for a garage door company for 12 years. My husband worked at a steel mill until it closed its doors. After losing health benefits, we started driving the truck, running as a team, now counting the days until our retirement. Also living with us is my daughter and granddaughter. With the money won, I was able to pay off my home and the balance of my bills"
Now, that's the kind of happy ending that makes this lottery advice business of mine so satisfying.
