Remember to always walk on the side of the road towards the traffic and not with the traffic...Nothing worse then getting hit from behind...

I think someone killed her intentionally so that she may not get her amout that she won. Anyway very sad news.

I just saw Deb on the second half of tonight's Cash Explosion show. I didn't realize the shows were taped so early before they were shown. Also one of the contestants was from my home town. My condolences to Deb's family.

This is a sad story. Haven't heard more about yet.

But what is more sorrowful is that the show she won the money on will air tomorrow on the Ohio Cash Explosion show. That will be hard for her family and friends if they wish to watch the show saturday night.

I wonder if they'll make a post of her memory after the show? The shows are taped 2 weeks in advanced.

Rest in peace Deborah McDonald.

That is so sad. On the day she got her check, even. Yea, I wonder what kind of friends she had. They were probably all drunk on her dime, and none of them could drive. Maybe she took off walking home because of that. I'm so sorry for her husband-to-be....

Makes you wonder what kind of friends she had. She was probably buying drinks for everybody playing pool and then nobody offers her a ride home?

Sad, sad story.

Sad news but I am thankful that it gets posted. I just don t understand why the woman was walking. No cabs? Maybe she lived close by. Someone around here had the same fate a few weeks ago and it was dark out. It was noticed he was wearing dark cloths and too close to traffic. Not exactly a residential area and far from housing. I wonder if this news would be as interesting if she had won a pick 3 or some scratch-off?

Her husband should have been with her, or she with him. It was sweet of her

SANDUSKY, Ohio -- A lottery winner who was struck and killed by a car in northern Ohio on the day she got her check had just spent some of the money on wedding rings for her and her husband.

The Ohio Highway Patrol says 47-year-old Deborah McDonald of Crystal Rock was walking home from a bar when she was hit by a car.

Investigators say McDonald had been drinking and celebrating her winnings before she died.

McDonald got a check for $5,520 on Tuesday and treated her husband and friends

i dont know if it was an accident or not after all it occured on Janurary10...I might have been an accident what i am suprise is that so many cars passing by of different ages, the odds that the person will be her age or 1 less or more than her age is striking...is like you getting hit by a car and you found out that the person that hit you look exactly like you but is not related to you...

Sgt. Joe Wentworth said a Chevrolet Impala traveling west hit McDonald as she walked in the same direction.

He did not know why she was walking along the highway and sa... [ More ]
