Connecticut Landscaper Ignores Snow, Ploughs Up a $2,000 a Week for Life; Rhode Island Ticket Holder(s) Win Powerball Jackpot of $325,000,000 Win

Marshall Dorfman of West Hartford, Connecticut almost didn’t buy a ticket for the state’s Lucky-4-Life drawing on January 19.

The weather forecast predicted heavy snow, and the self-employed landscaper, who snow plows in the off-season, needed to get ready for a night of work. Fortunately, Dorfman changed his mind after hooking up his plow, and bought a Lucky-4-Life ticket, which contained numbers from family birthdays and his wedding anniversary.

That ticket turned out to be the single top prize winning ticket sold for the evening, and was worth $2,000 a week for LIFE. As Connecticut’s first Lucky-4-Life millionaire of the New Year, Dorfman is guaranteed to receive prize money every week for the rest of his life.

The January 19, 2012 Lucky-4-Life winning numbers were 3 – 14 – 21 – 22 and the Lucky Ball was 14. Dorfman is the seventh Lucky-4-Life top prize winner since the game began in 2009.

“The morning after the drawing, I went to the lottery website and found out that we won. I couldn’t believe it,” Dorfman told Lottery officials. “It’s an awesome feeling. It’s definitely going to help out with bills and the kids. It couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Of course you know by now that one ticket bought in Rhode Island hit the $325 million jackpot.

What a great blessing.

We here congratulate the winner. Or winners, if it was a lottery pool.
