Man Working Three Jobs Wins $39 Million A man who works three jobs to support his four year old daughter has won a $39 million dollar jackpot by playing California's SuperLotto Plus. For the last twenty years Santa Cruz resident Clyde Persley has worked 60 hours a week driving limousines, making candy, and working in a restaurant. Persley bought lottery tickets twice a week at the Santa Cruz Market in hopes of a big win.

Persley got his wish for a big win. When he made his regular stop at the Santa Cruz Market to purchase lottery tickets owner Bankook Choi told him the store had won and to check his lottery tickets. Persley then went to his wife's place of employment and checked the numbers in the parking lot and found that all six numbers matched. While Persley remained calm his wife, Pauline, started screaming and jumping up and down. Said Persley, "I felt calm, and just so happy. I told my wife and she started screaming and jumping up and down."

Persley expects to receive a check for $19 million dollars in the next few weeks. Aside from a vacation in Hawaii Persley has no plan for his newfound wealth. Persley has indicated he plans to seek the advice of a financial advisor. Persley stated, "People think we are going to jump up and start spending all our money, but that's just not the way this works." Persley also plans to start a college fund for his four year old daughter. Persley remains undecided whether to continue working so hard. In addition to two part time jobs Persley worked full time for Santa Cruz Nutritionals for the past 26 years. About his job Persley had this to say: "I really appreciate my life with Harmony Foods, I can't say enough how much my work has meant to me."

In some states lottery players can purchase online lottery tickets by logging on and making an online lottery purchase. State lottery websites allow players to check their own tickets and avoid any confusion. For players working multiple jobs like Mr. Persley the ability to purchase lottery tickets online can be a real time saver. Players can usually access a random number generator to aid in picking those winning numbers. Studies show that most big winners had their numbers selected by a random number generator which can be a good strategy since lotteries are pure games of chance. It is always heartwarming when a truly hard working deserving person wins a huge lottery jackpot. Hopefully Mr. Persley will never have to worry about finances again.
