Michael Fomkin wins Lottery a Second Time 27 Million!

OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP -- A southwestern Michigan man went to Lansing on Thursday to cash in his $27 million winning Mega Millions lottery ticket.

Michael Fomkin, 36, bought the ticket to the May 13 drawing at a Kalamazoo convenience store.

The Michigan Lottery said he selected the lump-sum payment option, which gives him $17.4 million before taxes.

Fomkin is an analytical engineer from New York City orginally, and says he plays the multistate Mega Millions game about once a month.

He said his numbers were randomly generated. It wasn't until three days after the drawing that he heard where the winning ticket was sold, checked his own numbers and realized he had won, he said.

Mega Millions is played in 41 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mr Fomkin plans on donating most of the winnings to his local church.

Marvel, Colo. Flooded With Comic Stamp Requests- Posted by Michael Fomkin

MARVEL, Colo. -- The post office in the small southwestern Colorado town of Marvel is being flooded with requests for souvenirs of the new Marvel Comics super heroes stamps.
The post office began selling commemorative envelopes on Saturday.
Postmaster Cindy Crosby said she's gotten calls and letters from across the country and some avid collectors even drove to the town from as far away as Las Vegas Monday.
She has ordered 500 more envelopes, for a total of 1,000 to meet the demand.
The post office is also providing cancellation marks with the town's name on it for the next two months. That service is free but anyone who wants one must provide enough postage on a return envelope so workers can mail it back to you.
Commemorative envelopes can be purchased by sending $10 and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Marvel Post Office, 10383 County Road 100, Marvel, CO 81329.
