The 2003 Breeders’ Cup was a very lucky day for South Dakota resident Graham Stone, who, with his business partner Will Dixon, held the sole winning Pick 6 ticket. “The Stones were renting their house and now they own one about a minute away. They bought an SUV. Took the first family vacation in 17 years. He hasn’t repaired any jewelry in six months and is thinking about what else might be out there for him. Amazing what you can do with $8.” (New York Daily News)
