N.C. Lottery has false start on logoReply
What Tom Sheehan need to do is keep the media guys out of their meetings and talk on a need to know basis, especially since that lawsuit is happening. Somebody on his staff is talking too much.

Win a jackpot...continue to work??Reply
Her is a copy of something I found sometime ago about winning the lottery. Dont know where I found it or who wrote it. Some of it is quite funny, Don't Win The Lottery! Don't win the lottery!

Lotto Texas winner sues betting company and couriers, claims he was cheated out of $100M jackpotReply
Had a group known as Rook TX not spent almost $26 million to buy nearly every number combination in a Lotto Texas drawing ...
