Linda and Bob Von Oesen of Fairfield, Maine are the lucky winners of the $8.2 million jackpot at the Megabucks New England lottery. After taxes, they stand to receive $4,148,922.

Linda has been buying $2 Megabucks easy pick ticket every Wednesday and Friday for the past 13 years, which she acquires at the Big Apple convenience store in Fairfield Center.

Asked if they wanted to travel the world, they replied they are not that interested in flying, the Press Herald reported.

"I was in the service, so I had all the cruising I wanted," Bob Von Oesen explains. "She doesn't like to fly, so we'll stick to four wheels," he added, speaking for his wife.

All they wish for is to buy a snowblower, so that their 3-year-old cocker spaniel, Abby, can get around the yard more easily during winter time. The rest of the money stands to go to the couple's 14 grandchildren.
