lottery

If you're part of an office pool where you buy lottery tickets every week . . . with the dream that you'll win and won't have to be coworkers anymore . . . here's some bad news.

This just seems unfair.  How can one family POSSIBLY be this lucky? I'm not even lucky enough to find a great parking spot at the grocery store. Charlotte Observer reported that back in 1991, Amy McCauley of Fort Mill, South Carolina won $15.5 MILLION in the New York lottery.  And rather than just call it a day and retire from the lottery, she kept playing.

Tyrone Curry doesn't have to wake up at 4 a.m. and mop the floors at Evergreen High School in Seattle. Not after the custodian won the Washington State lottery to the tune of $3.41 million five years ago.

The holders of two winning tickets sold in Idaho and Washington will be sharing Mega Million's $355 million jackpot from Tuesday night's drawing, lottery officials said Wednesday. The two winners will each get $177.5 million. The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with 42 being the Mega Ball number.
