Unfortunately, you have to move now victor.

Think about what the odds against two big winners being a block away from each other are.

Can you say super, ultra-astronomical? I knew you could.

I would recommend you move to Arizona. You don't need any permit to open-carry guns there which makes it a fun place to live.

It drives the libs absolutely insane!

I used to go to popular lib meccas like Sedona and I would be absolutely bristling with weaponry and I'd just walk up and do... [ More ]

This lady lives a block from me!! I was really surprise when I saw her picture on Yahoo. Suck for her that she can't keep it annonymous since CA Lottery is trying to make a advertisement by using her.

When Judith Tate showed up at Ron's Liquors in San Jose Thursday for a community party to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the California Lottery, she thought she might win $1,000.

Instead, the 64-year-old retired accounting supervisor was handed a check with three extra zeros. Yup. A cool $1 million.

Oh my God, Tate repeated in front of a gaggle of lottery executives, some of them tearing up just like her. She buried her face in her hands, and then turned to her 41-year-old son, Will Mo... [ More ]
