Do you know how many times I've sworn off for good this time! with regard to buying lottery tickets??

In Lottery-Land those are some pretty decent odds. G5

LOL!!!!! That's pretty good! I'm sure she'll play again. 600,000 after taxes does give you peace of mind though

Kentucky Lottery's 1-OFF game has two more drawings and on Sunday, lots of players will be playing it for last time . Maybe because it's a very strange game;didn't match a digit tonight and won $32.

Congratulations on her big win!

First thing that came to mind is Drew Carey on TPIR. The game where they have the price of a car close to the actual price and contestant says the name of the game.... That's too much . Most contestants say one more and Drew says they always say that! Same with her...just one more (ticket

Don't quit, not quite!

A player from Virginia is glad she didn't stop playing the lottery too early after she won $1 million from a scratch-off ticket that was supposed to be her last.

Latasha Tucker of Lynchburg made the million-dollar decision to play the lottery just one last time before quitting for good.
