Talked to this guy before a few times around town and he’s actually a pretty cool guy. Glad for him and his family. God is always working.
Yes he didn’t think they would release his picture to the news and media but he is very blessed and we have been thru hell and back as a family and a family who keeps faith no matter what blessing come in all different ways but my daddy deserves this so much he has always been a working man and now he can just RELAX
Congratulations to all of you. I’m and old friend of Karen and Leisha’s. When I saw your name I thought of Karen and was hoping it was her Robin. So glad for you all. Take care and God bless.
Glad for you have a ball
Yah baby blessing come true in time … pray hard and keep faith
glad for this wonderful man & his family yes I am!!!!
When people ask Mr Canady for money, he should tell them this: If you had won I would not expect you to give me money. So, no, I will not give you money regardless of your sob story.
Sure hope its well received…and does not bring them misery
Congratulations Mr. Canady!
****Dad*****
All he has to say is “NO”……take my word for it , they understand that is all languages!
Many stores now offer the opportunity to purchase scratchies from a self service kiosk. Why stand in line with those other customers when you can enjoy the exclusivity and prestige of purchasing direct from the kiosk.
Congrats to them.
I wish winners could remain anonymous. I’m sure now he will be inumdated by money grubbers.
