      <description><![CDATA[It was here in MI, and it was 4 out of the 5 people in the drawing for $2 million at the International Freedom Festival. The last drawing they had for it was during Arts, Beats   Eats in September, and all 5 people split it. Good odds if you ask me... 1 in 1 for $400,000 vs. 1 in 5 for $2M. But you get a $5,000 appearance fee if you lose, so the people who don't win actually make out better than the person who does win if the pot is split 5 ways.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For a drawing such as that having a partnership with at least one other player would be a very good idea. It's not like an open game like PB or MM it's a closed drawing.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[That seems like a good idea, but I'm sure they're all thinking how they want the full prize for themselves. lol.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jake,That's an excellent point.  I had posted a news story sometime in the past year about that exact strategy, in which 3 out of the 4 players agreed to split the winnings.  The person who did not agree did not win, and did not share in the prize.  The other three split the prize as agreed.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I am surprised there was no talk about a four-way split. It seems like the most obvious strategy.A guaranteed $250,000 win compared to a 75% chance of coming home with nothing.Good luck,Jake]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Janet DeCosta's earlier winnings helped her family. But DeCosta said she could do so much more if she comes home with the million-dollar prize.Greed is such a wonderful thing. It brings a smile to every ones face. Even the person passing the collection plate will have a smile on his face; people do not like to give money to those with a frown.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We invite everyone to come to The Maine Mall and join us in the celebration of this exciting event and watch the fun of a live million-dollar drawing,  Gwadosky said.Awful prospect, the thought of having to go to a mall, though I suppose if there's a shot at a million bucks most people would do it.  I don't blame her for feeling nervous and losing sleep about it, though.  I'd probably toss and turn, too, if I thought I was going to have to go to a mall.Jack]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Janet and Ernie DeCosta can finally get some sleep tonight. I plan on being up all night,  Janet said Tuesday as she headed out to her traditional weekly bingo game on the eve of a live drawing that could net her $1 million this evening.  I'm a basket case. More than a year ago, the 50-year-old Weeks Mills resident was on her way to a temporary job at MaineGeneral Medical Center when she scratched off a $10 state instant lottery ticket that handed her a $250,000 prize and a chance to win another...
