Former Ohio Lottery Director denies claims of harassment days before resigning for "medical reasons"Reply
* Kudos to LP for putting their related stories in a side box to show that Sudden resignations are not rare for folks in these positions. Lopez, a director of CA's State lottery fell on his sword years ago for inappropriate behavior as well. You better be on your best behavior if you expect to continue picking up a paycheck as a Director of a State lottery. Nice piece Kate!

Ryan Mindell appointed Executive Director of Texas LotteryReply
He does have some big shoes to fill, but who knows, Ryan may end up being the best lottery director ever. In either case, I doubt his photo will have any bearing on the outcome. I tend to avoid criticizing people for physical appearance. That's a really outdated concept, so I'm surprised to see it.

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
I didn't do any movies, but an Academy Award nominated director, who I won't name, predicted that I would be a great actor. He'd seen the best and I was impressed that he believed in me, but like I stated earlier, I was too distracted by drugs, parties, and women. I spent most of my time hanging out and getting high with celebrities.

Three Calgary friends claim $50M lottery prize after 17 years playing togetherReply
I ran a pool at a former workplace as well. I collected every 2 weeks on payday and bought a mix of Powerball, Louisiana Lotto, and MegaMillions tickets. Winnings were put back in for more tickets. We never had a big win, but we had some smaller wins that gave us enough incentive to keep playing. My manager and 2 of the supervisors were in the pool I was running. One retired and kept up with it for a while, but then dropped out. Considering the way our director treated us, we would have had
