Many years ago NY had a scratch game where one of the prizes was $2500 in groceries. I don't remember a cash option for that prize.

The same applies to that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition show.

It wasn't them. It was me. I didn't collect it, she said. I didn't know what to do with it. She is still uncertain whether she will keep or sell it.But, sitting in it, she said, It sure... [ More ]
