And why is it that the ones they show on TeeVee are always some ugly schmoe from hicksville? Do you play the lottery????? How much have you won? Skeptic Interesting, I was also thinking about that. Guys from my office are buying tickets, but I never ever met someone who won something serius. |

Lotterary Skeptic (OP) User ID: 878186 United States 01/30/2010 03:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I see that the lottery is up to some ungodly amount like; $225 million and One person "Seemingly" wins it, I can't help but wonder what happens to that winner? You don't see them writing a book or going on TeeVee to become the next star of the new reality show "How I Became A Millionaire" And of course, my Skeptic brain says "Nobody won-- it's a scam. I'm more prone to ask myself where that $225 Million went to and why can't they give some of that to me. I would be more than happy to split it with you guys |

The monet goes to some sinister Jewbank, in Israel! |

Just 1000 ? That should be much higher lol That shows, the state gets us all. I know. But it was almost worth it for the thrill. I thought I'd have a heart attack between looking at the 5th and 6th number. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 877660 United Arab Emirates 01/30/2010 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, my step-son's in-laws won $27 million dollars. Screwed up family IMHO. Some of them already near bankruptcy. Others fighting for "their" money NOW instead of over twenty years. Glad I never got involved in it all. Nothing like lots of money to bring out the paranoia. |

A few years later bought out the other partner and has been running the company ever since. He's done very well financially and has made back his original 100k investment a few times over. |
