Congrats!!!! Thats awesome! :)

To All:

THANK YOU so much for your loving support. Today was by far one of the greatest days of my life and there is an EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS story to go along with this, including being down to my last $60 and a straight exacta over at Golden Gate and then rolling that money($300) on Bigs horse at Churchill last race to get back to $960 to play the TICKET.

I have to thank Andy (Blackthroatwind) for essentially calming me down after I was 4 for 4 and calling him (Andy, this is Tom, WHO, SCAV, WHO, Oh hey man how you are?) and telling me NOT TO HEDGE. RIDE IT OUT he tells me given the situation. As he will probably say, I was absolutely frantic because I had no idea what the hell was going on. It is absolutely amazing feeling. It isn't excitement or happiness, it is a sense of satisfaction, and feeling this, it is a feeling that is like no other. More to come on this as I am filtering through everything and figureing out what is going on, including purchasing that plane ticket to Vegas in June and TOGA in July.

More to come later as I digest all this. Kev was right, I have been on the brink of tears for about the last three hours. Those that are close to me understand why (lots of stupid things) and all those stupid things, ARE CLEAR.

More to come later, and I will upload a file of the GREATEST PICTURE OF ALL TIME

FYI, I have gotten offers to go to stud already..:)

I have a friend who says he never bets the Pick 6. He says it's hard enough to pick one.

Even though my Pick 6 ticket went down in flames in the 2nd leg, it made me happy to hear that two DTers hit it! Especially after how down Scav was last week. And Bigs, twice in a month. Wow! Congratulations to both of you!

GREATEST picture of all time
 

Enlarge that great picture and get a nice frame for it. Great Job Scav :D

FYI, I have gotten offers to go to stud already..

Well you do have that little cough, and I think I noticed a slight bruise. Enough to be sent to stud!! hehe Damn Big Congrats to yall. Shoot the biggest thing I ever hit was about 2 years ago the NTRA Pick 4 for $1800 and I almost had a heartattack over that, I just might be in the hospital if I hit the Pick 6 for that kinda money.:D

Scav and Bigs, great job. I'm so jealous..

I am so proud of Scav and Bigs and I've never even met the dudes. It feels like family and friends on this site. I went to hang out with some friends after the third leg when I knew Bigs and Bogey were still in it and all I could think about was if anyone had hit it! Absolutely thrilled for you two men. Bigs, go take your family on a trip to africa (safari) or austrailia. Scav, pretend you didnt win and put it in a money market!!!

JK guys... spend away and however you'd like. So proud. Many more to come. Congrats again.

LOL Kev.

Someone mentioned not being able to sleep if they hit, well folks, check the time of this post.

Thanks again to everyone. This is truly a great place to hang and thanks again to Steve for creating it.

Thanks for knocking on wood Antitrust32.

Hilarious, I can't sleep either, thinking about going to the boat.....

This is no time to rest. Get to work on tommorow's card!

So I can copy your choices......:cool:

COOL!:)

Stay awake, guys - it's easier to enjoy it that way (otherwise you may just think you are dreaming :D). Nice hit!

F'ing hilarious.

congratulations!!!!!

That role is taken.

Scav & Bigs, way to go!! Two of the best and passionate fans.

Very well done!

Just seeing this now....congrats to both of you.....kinda restores the faith a little....

Pretty cool fellas....congrats.

Way to go guys!!!

Congrats!!!

Absolutely AMAZING! Huge congrats to both of you on this one!

Am I correct in assuming that if Scavs goes into syndication that he must pass the KyRosesinMay pre-stud examination??

I would pay good money to see that....

At work right now. THIS SUCKS!!!!

dude...you can't retire on a $30K hit

I could take the year off though :)

you just worry about taking the last weekend in July off....

Way to go fella. You deserve it. Don't listen to GPK. He's sitting with me in the cheap seats.

Are you going to Toga?

We will be straight ballin there. I am requesting it off next week, if I am even here by then. Boss says No and I say "Ok" and then work until that Wednesday and ADIOS AMIGO

hopefully for not much longer...:cool:

If I don't hit today, I'll be so poor that if McDonalds started selling burgers for a dime all I could do is run down the street yelling, "THAT'S CHEAP, THAT'S CHEAP!"

Tom, I'd love to make it up there. Hopefully I will.

STRAIGHT BALLIN Brucey. STACKS of cash. $200 Win bets on Samyn because I CAN

I would never speak to you again...

Trust me, I believe you.

THE DAY

LAVIOLETTE FOREVER.

please...you wouldn't know what to do without having your old buddy to talk to...

When in June are you headed out to Vegas?

June 21st through the 24th, and then hopefully the last week in July for business (if I get this job I am hoping to get)

Agreed, it isn't really about the money when your horse crosses the line in the last leg. The first time I hit one I started screaming so loud they tried to kick me out of the OTB, then I showed the manager the winning ticket she says "you can scream as loud as you want" and had to call the central office for more cash to pay me out, LOL

I'm so happy for you. It's the best feeling in the world.

That's my Boy with the high F.O. Factor....(defined as having the financial stability to be able to tell your boss to F Off)


Straight ballin, that's right. Toga is going to be sick.

Are all of you guys coming up opening weekend?

I'm going to opening weekend at Del Mar, and I WILL hit the pick 6 out there and be ballin' for Toga. Mark it down.

Looking back at that sequence it's incredible how much it paid. That's why it's of utmost importance to play a pick-6 when the carryover is that large. Pick 4 for $2 pays barely over $600 and due to the second leg of the pick 6 and the massive pool, it pays bonkers.

Congrats again, you two. Unbelievable that Bigs hit it for what? A $144 ticket? That's like a Jordan game winning shot.
