Because you actually need the money, and that's why you don't win. If you had 20 million in the bank and couldn't possibly use the money then you'd win every week. Or if you were really old and a month away from dying you'd win, but people who really need money? They never win.

Donald Ertman got a little agitated when he found out he'd have to make the 150-mile trip to Lansing to collect his lottery winnings. All that for $150, he complained.

Then the owner of the store that sold Ertman the $1 Mega Millions ticket set him straight: It was worth not $150, but a cool quarter of a million.

"We're the typical poor senior citizens, and our income from Social Security is not a lot," she said.

Then perhaps you should not be spending your money on that voluntary tax called the state lottery. Especially if you don't understand the rules of the game.

That is a heartbreaking story. I would hope the new winner would be so kind as to give the guy at least 10k or something.

Glad for them, but why is a poor person complaining about not having money spending $7 a week on lotto?

probably because you don't believe in GOD and you are a racist caveman.
any more questions you angry little monkey?
you need help ma pnigga! I think Baltimore needs to hold a town meeting and have you say, in public, what you said about the city while hiding behind your computer screen. That would be funny. Lets get ready for the caveman retort <yawn> BTW, the only people that believe in God are radicals. The two highest religious factions known to man right now, Bush and Osama Bin Laden, both fighting for "God" are tearing this earth up. How ironic. If you want to read about fairy tales, put down the bible and pick up Snow White.

Bravo to the store owner!
Around here he'd give the guy $150.00 and say congratulations, then take the ticket and cash in the balance for himself and leave town.

I would say whatever I felt like saying because this is a free country, and if anyone didn't like it then screw them.
White trash like you do it all the time on message boards like this, isn't it ironic when someone like me sets out to give the racist scum a taste of their own medicine they can't handle it and they have mini meltdowns and anger filled verbal tirades on the internet?
Oh wait that's exactly describing you GHT! LMAO
what a mental midget you are. Too stupid to realize anything around you huh Primate boy?
Who can't handle it?? I am enjoying it. LMAO. Rest assured, no one gives a chit what you think LOL. Me a primate? Hmmm...you're a little closer to the jungle than I, don't you think? <wink>

If there were ever a place for bigotry, it would be well described as the rantings of Farrakan, a good friend of Barack's minister and mentor. Tell me, please, that I am wrong. I would love to be wrong in this thinking.
