I agree about the car ... I tend to be frugal with or without money...

Expensive cars can get you in trouble in a lot of ways.

Ironically, I just saw a repeat of the Lottery winners show on TLC last night and good ol David Edwards was front and center with his stable of expensive cars and toys..

And where is he now ?

I love that show! Congrats to all the winners, it certainly sounds like they are having fun.

Here's to hoping that we at Lotterypost may one day get to tell our own winning stories
