James used a very simple and straightforward method when it came to buying his ticket and choosing his numbers. He simply chose the numbers in the birthdays of his family members, so you could say that he can thank them for being born at the right times too! But in all seriousness, it shows that any strategy can work. Of course, it’s all down to luck, but James is an example that shows us that a number-picking strategy that many people use can come good and produce a win.

Or maybe it was all down to the location at which James purchased his lucky ticket because Lanzilli’s Grocery in East Boston has now been the location at which six winning tickets of $1 million or more have been purchased. As a result of his win, the grocery store will receive a $30,000 prize for yet again selling the winning ticket.

The cost of the lottery ticket is nothing compared to what James won in the end – and it can be considered an investment for James! He’ll be looking for even more successful investments going forward as he puts his winnings to good use and hopefully sees the cash grow even more over time. If his lucky streak carries on, we’re sure his investments will turn out just how he wants to them too.
