One of our aquaintences won a million in a lotto last week. Been quite a long time since I personally knew anyone that did win a signifigant amount. Of course a million is not what it once was but still cannot hurt. One nice thing up here in Canada is any winnings are not taxable. You actually get all you win.

I always felt they beat horrific odds when they do.

I won cash only once that I can think of. My mother in law wanted me to take her to a bingo game quite far away.

So when we got there I thought I would kill the waiting time by playing as well. Staying on the better side of the mother in law was a good incentive as well. She actually liked me.

Never have played bingo before or since. Won three hundred that was split four ways. This was so long ago you couild actually get some value out of seventy five dollars. My only other signifigant gamble was for love those many years ago. I am still paying for that one. Even though I won?
