How an LP major jackpot winner could help lottery playersReply
Here's the Board of Directors for GTech. I'll confess they don't appear to be all that sinister. Dewey was Managing Director of Donaldson, Lufkin Jenrette Securities Corporation from 1983 through 1995, and as a member of its Board of Directors, and the name Jenrette has the ring of a US Senator or Representative involved in some scandal decades ago, but there mightn't be a connection, probably doesn't mean anything.

You are a funnel for all the brain pounding the likes of CNN fed you since this race began. No, I don't call that ugly I call that normal. And if Hillary wants to stand up and call it anything else, she's a hypocrite. She's married to a guy who did the same thing and worse...who knows how many married women he hit on and hit up. AND yes, it does matter because it sure wasn't love that kept them together all these years. It was political agenda. She accepted what he did not out of fo
