Donut even think about your next lottery purchase just dough for it

By Kate Northrop

Hole-y moly! A North Carolina man found himself sprinting down the street after he won a $1 million lottery prize from a scratch-off game (likely burning those calories he had from the donuts he was craving).

There's two things that might send... [ More ]
