$207M Mega Millions lottery winners happy, but waitingReply
BarristaExpress, I don't understand why distrbuting bonus money among Kroger employees would piss you off so much.

Man caught stealing from charity lotteryReply
I gave this article a 5-star rating because I think it's a great explanation of how these independent lotteries and/or contests can be rigged behind the scenes. I wish these things would get more attention, because the people who spent the money have no chance of winning the prize. Also, the fact that a mere 20% of the proceeds go to the charity itself is staggering. Even the states give 50% of the proceeds to the worthy causes the lottery is setup to fund! Investigate any charity BEFORE y

Michigan Lottery winner gives prize to charityNews Story
A Kalamazoo-area man who won $10,000 in the Michigan Lottery's Club Keno game has donated his winnings to a charity. Soon after winning the money on March 11, Jim Dancy of Richland decided others needed it more than he did. So he gave it all to the Greater Kalamazoo United Way. I was heavily influenced by my close friend Julie, who taught me to think of others first, and to stop and think about what life is really about. I know the needs in the community are great right now, so for me it
