Dream At Start of 2009 Predicts Correct Winning Numbers
On January 1, 2009, I dreamt that 666 won the Jamaica Lottery on New Year's Eve. This afternoon's Jamaica Lottery number: 666. Obviously, I am not in Jamaica to collect any winnings off this number.

Lottery Rules in different Countries?Reply
In Jamaica, the actual Country, not Jamaica, New York, ;) a Jamaican man who won The Jamaican Lottery claimed his Winnings wearing a Ghostface Costume! LMAO! :D Love it! :D Smart man! :D The even smarter thing is that Ghostface is an ENTIRE body Costume, not just a mask unlike Jason Voorhees Mask that only covers your face but leaves the body wide open.

2 more suspects plead guilty in $5.7M Jamaican lottery scamReply
Too bad the USA couldn't hit them where it hurts, Jamaica that is. It would never happen in a million years but if Americans weren't allowed to travel to Jamaica that would devastate their tourism dollars in a big way.
