<P>8:29 we were sitting in the moose club 8:31  the moose lodge and we seen it on television 8:33 
<P>JIM'S WIFE FIGURED IT OUT FIRST

<P>THEY HIGH-TAILED IT OUT OF THE MOOSE LODGE - 
<P>we got up and left right away  8:40 being afraid because oh, we've got a ticket that's worht 3 million dollars possibly, we didn't know 8:45 
<P>BUT IT WAS - 3 MILLION DOLLARS, THEY WERE THE ONLY WINNERS. 
<P>THEY TOOK IT IN YEARLY PAYMENTS - 150-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FOR TWENTY YEARS. 
<P>THE TRUCK DRIVER FROM OHIO QUIT HIS JOB THE NEXT DAY AND MOVED TO FLORIDA.      
<P>11:06 worked one day and left 11:08 haven't worked since 11:10

<P>AS THE THE TICKET PURCHASES INCREASE - SO DOES THE JACKPOT.
<P>THE ODDS OF WINNING ARE ASTRONOMICAL: ABOUT ONE IN 175 MILLION.
<P>EVEN IF YOU DO WIN, YOU WON'T BRING HOME ALL $550 MILLION.
<P>THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES A QUARTER OF THE JACKPOT IN TAXES, AND MOST STATES TAKE A SMALL SHARE. 
<P>THAT PUTS THE VALUE OF THE WINNINGS AROUND $360 MILLION.
<P>IF YOU'RE STILL THINKING OF BUYING A TICKET, YOU HAVE UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK TONIGHT TO BUY ONE.
<P>ABC-7 IS THE PLACE TO BE TONIGHT AT 11 O'CLOCK AS THE WINNING NUMBERS ARE ANNOUNCED LIVE.

<P>The clouds finally broke during the early afternoon hours, and we'll continue with clouds mixing in with our sunshine for the remainder of our Wednesday. Despite the cloud cover lingering across Southwest Florida for much of the day, afternoon temperatures managed to reach the upper 70s with a breeze out of the north around 10mph.
<P>Tonight, partly cloudy skies will remain in the forecast with mainly dry weather. Some slightly drier air will filter down the state keeping our overnight lows a tad on the cooler side as they settle into the upper 50s here in town with middle 50s across our inland and northern cool spots. By the morning hours, a few low clouds will develop, however with an elevated breeze, fog shouldn't be a big issue.
<P>A weak cool front continues to dissipate across central Florida at this time with high pressure building in across the southeast through Thursday. This will keep a mix of sun and clouds across our skies for Thursday and Friday with highs near normal in the upper 70s to low 80s and overnight lows near 60°. 
<P>Friday and into the weekend, high pressure will begin its migration across the Carolinas and out into the western Atlantic waters. This will keep us under the influence of an easterly flow with a few more clouds drifting across the peninsula and across Southwest Florida.
