"From here?" said one customer. It’s the big buzz at the Sunoco on 330 East Lancaster Avenue in Wynnewood.
"Oh man. Naw. It was not me. I wish it were," said a customer about someone winning the $6 million Match 6 lottery jackpot.
"Why couldn't that be me," laughed Pat Jordan. She says the store clerk told her the winner is a regular customer who only chooses random play for the numbers. "He never picks his numbers, so what are the odds of that?" she said. Jordan says she is changing her strategy to let the machine pick her numbers.
"I do that when I play the Powerball. I do the computer pick. But I have some numbers that I do play," she said.
"I play Powerball and the Match 6. (Have you ever won?) No. Maybe next time," said a woman.
