An Orlando man, Jose Salmon, revealed his high-risk strategy to achieve fame and fortune that won him the state lottery jackpot , which totaled to $13 million.
Salmon, who runs a medical supplies store in Orlando, Florida , has always been passionate about playing the lottery . His methods were extreme – but they did pay off.
The Florida lottery fanatic Salmon began playing in 1998, spending an astonishing $600 daily on lottery tickets to achieve his goal. Fortunately, Salmon’s dream came true in 2007 when he became one of four winners of a $52 million jackpot, getting $13 million in his share.
Now, he’s got almost nothing despite his winning daily habit.
