The reason that she didn't have much winnings vs. losses is because she played too many numbers per drawing. Only one number is going to win. Anytime I won anything whether the Pick-5 or the Daily numbers games I usually had 3 or less numbers (my primaries ) and I rarely play the scratch-offs because there is no known way to systemize them. It's more fun and less of an addiction if you can focus on a few numbers that look ready and less time-consuming.

I'm curious to know the details of... [ More ]

No doubt that she demonstrated bad behavior and should be punished. But her activity also showed just how bad the odds are stacked against the average player. To gamble away literally millions with nothing to show for it should give people a good perspective that the lottery should be played for fun only and not seen as a viable retirement plan.

I agree.. the Doctor should get his money back from the state..

Remember how one jackpot was questioned because the winner had bought the ticket with a stolen credit card..

Well what is the differences here

The only thing Ive seen business's obligated to do is- raise prices,refuse paying fines,and make sure that they line their pockets with profits . They will gladly withdraw your taxes imposed each pay and roll it into an interest bearing account for4 months and then pay the piper (Uncle sam).

So in a quirky way- the very business you work for, steals your tax money to put into an account to bear interest and we call that---free enterprise! and no-they dont give it back...and oddly enough...bec... [ More ]

Interesting comment, BobP. If a person or business receives stolen money without any knowledge of the theft are they obligated in any way to pay it back to the rightful owner

Prison will help! She just needs a new perspective such as the fact that she'll be refraining from her addiction to steal . She'll learn to share and she'll learn a new way of life. Change is good and she is about to learn the hard way just how much changing she'll need to do for her crime.

I am 100% for rehabilitating those who despareltey need a second chance in life to right their wrongs, but she truly doesnt carry that demeanor. She is one person to whom I can say prison is just where s... [ More ]

Didn't she say prison won't help her? But , Bubbalicious her cellmate surely can.

I seen a story like this back long ago where a women was stealing her bosses bag lunch and trading it at a local store to the clerk for some scratch offs. He caught her when the clerk called her and complained about the bologna smelled spoiled. Always make sure your meat smells good before you give it to someone. mudhole

Now that it's been proven where the money went, the Doctors should ask the state for their money back. I'm sure the state doesn't want to be the receiver of stolen money. BobP

She is upset because only now is she beginning to realise there are consequences for her actions. Her spending the money on lottery tickets isn't even relevant unless it won money for any recovery of assets.

wow, people never cease to amaze. She steals and now demands to be given a clean break because prison will not help me. she might be correct on that but what about the rest of us who earn less than $30, 000 a year breaking our backs and never steal a dime, what about us

I need a job. I wonder if these doctors are looking for a new bookkeeper? LOL

(how did she get away with it for so long is my biggest question

She was just a common greedy thief and they should put her in jail. Maybe while she is in there, she will get some type of help. The poor doctor will definitely learn to keep his own books or at least have a seperate audit done once every three months.

I believe that being in jail for several years will help her. She won't be playing the lottory; she won't be gambling. So when she gets out, her grambling addiction should be gone. If she returns to her habit, then nothing on this earth can help her.

I also think they should add a couple of years for contempt of court. Then add a few months for being so stupid as to think she would never be caught.

I don't think she realizes that she's going to jail as a punishment not as a form of healing...

The only Help will be for the Doctor. He will now have all the money that he earns stay in his account.

Lottery addict screams at judge, 'prison won't help'

Lottery Post — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 18:15:02 GMT

A sobbing lottery addict convicted of stealing $2.3 million from her employer to fund her habit screamed at the judge that prison won't cure her.

Tell me how you're helping me! Annie Donnelly of Farmingville yelled at state Supreme Court Justice Robert Doyle during her sentencing Tuesday.

Donnelly pleaded guilty last month to second-degree grand larceny in exchange for the sentence of four to 12 years in prison.
