Deserving winner

There is a newspaper guy that delivers every day Monday though Friday .  He is around 57 years of age.  One day I asked him how come your doing this job.  He said hun I have a mentally handicapped child which my wife and I take care of  and me not working this job along with my other won't pay for her doctors, medicines and other things. 

Well about 2 wks later I saw a different newspaper man.  I asked him where my buddy was and he said he didn't know.  Well for the next month I did not see him and I had been looking

Well to make a long story short I finally saw him at Walmart.  I went up to him said hello and told him i had been wondering where he was.  He looked at me smiled and said  God finally answered my prayers I won the million dollar lottery and finally can give my daughter the care she needs.  I congratulated him and off he went.  Finally a person one who really needed it.

Chicken follow-up

How unfortunate for that chicken.  I guess his curiosity got the best of him. 

As far as systems to win the lottery are concerned, I have read several and have tried their recommended techniques, but so far any winning that I have done has been purely out of chance.  I\'m not a big lottery player, but wouldn't mind hitting on occasion.  Might bring me back more often.  What suggestions would you have for winning at the lottery?

From Winner to Dinner

A British newspaper reported that a chicken which picked out winning lottery numbers for its owner has been eaten by a fox. The chicken, named 'Lucky' was originally rescued from death by its owner, Billy Gibbons. Lucky used to peck out the numbers on a calculator and over time got Billy almost US$2,5000. However, the fox entered an unlocked coop - and the winner became a dinner!

WARNING-Holiday Millionaire Raffle tickets and Ebay

Statement by

THE FLORIDA LOTTERY

Regarding the purchase of Holiday Millionaire Raffle™ tickets

TALLAHASSEE--It was recently brought to our attention that Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire Raffle tickets were being offered for sale in a manner inconsistent with state laws governing the purchase and sale of Florida Lottery tickets.

Specifically, some Holiday Millionaire Raffle tickets were being offered for sale or auction on the Internet Web site eBay in apparent violation of both Florida Statutes and eBay's own terms of service. The Florida Lottery Division of Security has contacted eBay's Division of Trust and Safety requesting that those auctions be closed.

Doug Pitts, Director of Security for the Florida Lottery said, "The integrity of our games is paramount to us. Without the public's confidence in our security procedures, we risk the ability to accomplish our mission of selling lottery tickets in an honest and fair manner in order to raise funds for Florida's education system. We take these responsibilities seriously and will pursue and investigate any violations of the law."

It is important to note also that anyone purchasing a lottery ticket from a non-authorized source risks obtaining a counterfeit ticket, which will not be honored for payment. In an effort to help our players avoid being scammed, we are taking this opportunity to reinforce with the public some important laws regarding the purchase and sale of Florida Lottery game tickets.

Florida Statute 24.117 prohibits the sale of tickets by any person or business not under contract with the Florida Lottery as an authorized lottery retailer. The same statute also prohibits the sale of Florida Lottery tickets at any price other than the official, established price. Violations are first-degree misdemeanors and are punishable by fines and jail time. Moreover, Florida Statute 24.115 prohibits the payment of a prize on any ticket sold or purchased in violation of the statutes. Specifically, this means that the Florida Lottery may be prohibited from paying cash or other prizes on tickets acquired through the Internet or other unauthorized sources. Additionally, the same holds true for tickets purchased for an amount other than the original, official price. Finally, Lottery retailers who sell lottery tickets at a price other than the face value are subject to criminal prosecution and termination of their Lottery contract.

The Florida Lottery is delighted by the overwhelming popularity of the game and looks forward to conducting the official drawing on January 1, 2007. In the meantime, we are reminding players who purchased a Holiday Millionaire Raffle ticket to avoid misplacing it and to check to see if they are a winner on New Year's Day.
