hey my dad won the lotto for year 2003 and his case was somehwere like 17 or 18 thou... and we ended up winnin it wid flyin colors... becas my dad got that easily becas he had more than 40 years of british army experience... but other ppl got rejected... so i think if ur case ends up at last u mite have a lil bit more slim chances of getting it... but if u are very qualified for it... then they'll take u for granted... so good luck.... and may god bless u...
