Folowed by a sad sad story

And the unofficial followups to both stories:

Said the man who won $1.5M on a small ticket:
"Man, after I had hit the Pick 6, the entire branch went crazy! But after I gave a little something to every degenerate in the branch, not to mention the IRS, I was only left with bus fare. Thank God I ate earlier."

And rumor had it that the man who picked all 6 (in the second story) and didn't put in the ticket took his part of the Pick 5 consolation and promptly cleaned out the local CVS of it's stock of Pepto Bismol and Nyquil.
