RE: North Carolina man wins powerball prize with fortune-cookie numbers
Good post. Quite interesting article. I didn't know that almost all of the people who win millions on jackpots are likely to declare bankruptcy in 3 to 5 years. But in principle, this is logical. Personally I usually buy lotto tickets just for fun, but several times I won good money! And what about you?
I bought a few scratch tickets here and there in my life but never with any sort of regularity. I won a free ticket a few times but nothing of any sort of substance. The only sort of gambling that I engage in are charity events at the local Elks Lodge - the idea isn't really to win but to make money for the charity. Normally 50% of the amount put in goes to a winner but the rest goes to whatever charity (normally for kids) that the lodge chooses.
