Good things come to those who wait can be the slogan of former U S Air Force pilot William Bowker who is 94 years of age. William who likes to play the Oregon lottery is one lucky man who recently won $6.5 million dollars on the Oregon Game's Megabuck game. William almost made a huge error of throwing away the winning lottery ticket when his granddaughter came to visit him since he asked her to check if he won the grand prize. When William with the help of his granddaughter took a second look at the Megabucks ticket, he was happy as he can be when he found out that he won the $6.5 million dollar grand prize. His error that nearly cost him the grand prize was when the Mega Million ticket was not the winning lottery ticket, the Megabucks ticket had the grand prize. After William accept to take the lump sum of the lottery prize, after paying taxes he will wind up with a prize of $2.2 million dollars which he will share with his family members since William will have enough money from his lottery winning ticket to keep financially secure for the remainder of his life.
