It didn't seem real
"It didn't seem real; you just don't burberry bags cheap believe it," said Daniel Bruckner of San Jose, Calif.
He and his wife, Christine, had been visiting her family on Long Island over Christmas when he bought the winning ticket while shopping for dinner at a supermarket.
His father-in-law had a printout of the winning numbers, he said, but still he went to the lottery website to check the numbers, then called the lottery hotline to check again.
"No one believes it when you first say it," he said, when they tell friends and relatives about their good fortune. "Because you don't believe it yourself."
At a news conference Friday, the couple declined to say exactly where Bruckner worked. They plan to take a lump-sum payment that will leave them with $101 million after taxes, lottery officials said.
"It's very surreal," Bruckner said. "It's exciting, but very surreal."
The winning Mega Millions numbers were cheap burberry shoes drawn Dec. 27.
Bruckner, 35, said he typically shops at the King Kullen supermarket in Middle Island when he is in town.
"I picked up food for dinner and saw how big the jackpot was so I decided to buy a ticket," he explained.
Bruckner said that he plays the Mega Millions game from time to time but that before winning big in December he had never won more "than a few bucks."The US squad will face Venezuela on January 21 and Panama on January 25.

The groups are asking an Alameda County Superior Court judge to vacate approval for the use of methyl iodide, which kills bugs, weeds and plant diseases and is used by some growers of tomatoes, peppers and other burberry watches outlet crops. The state Department of Pesticide Regulation approved its use before Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's term ended.
Environmentalists say regulators violated state law by mischaracterizing methyl iodide's approval as an emergency action in order to gain approval before a new administration takes office.
The state said it conducted large amounts of research before approving the chemical in 2010, despite opposition from its own scientific advisors and an independent scientist panel who said it can cause cancer.
Judge Frank Roesch expressed skepticism about the research process, saying it appeared that regulators didn't properly explore alternatives.
"Did you consider not approving methyl iodide? I don't see it," Roesch asked. "Absent that, I don't see how you can prevail in the lawsuit."
The judge gave the state until Jan. 20 to show it was not required to consider alternatives under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Methyl iodide was approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2007 as a replacement for the fumigant methyl bromide, which is being phased out by international treaty because it cheap burberry mens shirts for sale depletes the ozone layer. Environmental groups have asked the EPA to reconsider the approval of methyl iodide.
