(AP) – A suburban Phoenix man made a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky guess in a recent multistate lottery game. The anonymous Glendale man claimed six $1 million prizes after purchasing six Powerball tickets with the same winning numbers late last month. The tickets were good for six second-place prizes. (He didn't get the Powerball number.)

Next we'll hear that the powerball game has been hacked or rigged some way. Wonder if they can do that to voting machines? Is there NOTHING we can believe in anymore?
