i dont know if it was an accident or not after all it occured on Janurary10...I might have been an accident what i am suprise is that so many cars passing by of different ages, the odds that the person will be her age or 1 less or more than her age is striking...is like you getting hit by a car and you found out that the person that hit you look exactly like you but is not related to you... anyways is none of my bussiness...i got stuff to worry about...maybe a woman should do that to a man when he is walking..even things out...or better a body builder do that to a regular person even things out... Scientists work on many crazy things: Tell them to work on something that will make elderly women gain weight.
The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

SANDUSKY, Ohio -- A lottery winner who was struck and killed by a car in northern Ohio on the day she got her check had just spent some of the money on wedding rings for her and her husband. The Ohio Highway Patrol says 47-year-old Deborah McDonald of Crystal Rock was walking home from a bar when she was hit by a car. Investigators say McDonald had been drinking and celebrating her winnings before she died. McDonald got a check for $5,520 on Tuesday and treated her husband and friends to dinner. Friends say she also bought a pair of wedding rings that the couple had been unable to afford. McDonald won the money in the Ohio Lottery's TV game show "Cash Explosion Double Play." The show is set to air Saturday. | | |

Sad news but I am thankful that it gets posted. I just don’t understand why the woman was walking. No cabs? Maybe she lived close by. Someone around here had the same fate a few weeks ago and it was dark out. It was noticed he was wearing dark cloths and too close to traffic. Not exactly a residential area and far from housing. I wonder if this news would be as interesting if she had won a pick 3 or some scratch-off? Her husband should have been with her, or she with him. It was sweet of her to get the rings on the very same day she was paid. | | |

Makes you wonder what kind of friends she had. She was probably buying drinks for everybody playing pool and then nobody offers her a ride home? Sad, sad story. . The water ain't never gonna run clear til you get the pigs out of the creek.

That is so sad.  On the day she got her check, even. Yea, I wonder what kind of friends she had. They were probably all drunk on her dime, and none of them could drive. Maybe she took off walking home because of that. I'm so sorry for her husband-to-be.... Luck is ** believing ** you're lucky.” ~Tennessee Williams Money is neither my god nor my devil.

Very sad article. I too wonder why she was walking on the side of the highway so late.  "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."
