Why limit it to a 60 day vacation? When the days comes that I win a multi-million USD lottery jackpot, I already have a worldwide vacation schedule that will have me visiting different countries ranging in time from 90 days to just over 180 days. My goal would be to play golf in every country I visit, see some of the off track attractions as well as the well known tourist attractions, scuba dive in those areas where there are interesting diving venues, and eat local cuisine in every country (of

What a time to hit the jack pot. Oh I know I'd plan an extended vacation to atleast get to see the world. A 60 day vacation in Africa or Asia would be very inviting right now. Lately I seem to have run out of luck

There haven't been many happy stories involving Indiana auto workers lately, but one family is an exception.

A mother and her two daughters, one retired from General Motors and two who work for Delphi in Kokomo, cashed in Monday, claiming an $11 million Hoosier Lottery prize.

It was the biggest check Jill Carver, of Kokomo, and daughters Brenda Carver and Ronette Kelley had ever received.

While Delphi has struggled, along with all of the American auto industry, Carver and Kelley have cl... [ More ]
