I wouldn't be surprise if she will win again in the third time. It's nice that she values her work even though she has enough money to start other things and quit her job. I wonder what her strategies are? Well for a start she continue playing even though she already won. I consistently play, I guess I need to work on the numbers that I am betting.

What a clever way to hit on the cougar with a little money . If you can't hit the lottery, you might as well hit on the one who hit the lottery.

Dear helpmewin, I like cougars with money and there is a shortage of women in NJ who will date me.

I'm now going on blind dates with actual blind people.

yeah maybe but i find it odd that she hits all the different stores, the money we see is what she had to go get at the office hard to say the little prizes 500.00 and under fishy i say but then again look at Keith price in Ky i guess Lottery offices don't care.

but then on the other hand why did they investigate the guy in Colorado Tadeusz Krupa and his family have won $1,000 or more in Colorado's Cash 5 Jackpot on 21 different occasions, raking in a total of about $158,000 before taxes.... [ More ]

Well, for this year's remaining income taxes (paid early next year) Connie can finally write off 100% of her carry-over from the past 5 years AND current year gambling losses then

RALEIGH Dan Royal, a carpenter from the small town of Forest City, is one of the biggest winners in state lottery history. After scratching off $750,000 playing Jumbo Bucks in February of 2012, this week Royal won the top prize on a $5,000 a Week for Life! ticket. The guaranteed value of the prize is $5.2 million.

Royal bought both of his lucky tickets at the same store. It was there on Friday morning that Alice Garland, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery, presented Royal with a... [ More ]

there was a guy on that LOTTERY show from i think Massachusetts no matter what he did he kept winning, did you see that show.

rdgrnr — Sat, 17 Aug 2013 04:06:55 GMT

There was a case in Indiana I believe a while back where somebody at the lottery or the printer told his friends where to buy the big winning ticket.

They got busted though.

I'm not saying that's what's going on in this case.

Maybe she just discovered a good way to better her odds by buying from new packs that still have all the winners in them.

And I congratulate her on that if that's the case.

That's only 525,600 new ones every year and it takes over 75,000,000 to win PB or MM. No wonder it takes several drawings for them to be won.

Some people buy scratchers and carry them around for a couple weeks before scratching them. You could try that.
