Ex-con held onto his lotto millions and started new lifeReply
Huh? I don't think this is such a heart-warming story. There is nothing here that tells me this man turned his life around, except that he doesn't have to work any more because he won a lot of money. He didn't give up crime because he had an epiphany. He got caught and went to prison. In the article there is not one word that shows remorse for his past criminal activity. I'd rather read about someone who spent his life helping people or working in a coal mine or an immigrant farm worker who pick

Canada's Lotto Max to increase jackpot, add drawing in MayReply
The part of having 7 numbers to win the jackpot got me a bit curious. So in my research I found this out about the game; So you need to match 7 to win the jackpot. That immediately gives some pretty tough odds. But strangely for a lottery game you are forced to buy more than one entry! The ticket price is actually $5 but for this you get 3 picks. The odds of one of your entries hitting the jackpot are pretty much 1 in 86 million for a 7 from 49 draw. But odds are brought down to at least 1 i

I also said: apparently Reyes bought the ticket and was the spokesman for the group. and again that was base on from what I've read so far. Is there a reason you're showing my quotes out of context?
