so have you ever played the lottery? Have you ever won anything? I don't play it but I like reading the stories about people who win!

golds g. Oct 23, 2009, 3:18pm EDT
nice win
Kimber L. Oct 23, 2009, 3:16pm EDT
That is a nice story - not everyone uses their winnings responsibly. They end up worse off than before they won!!

If I won a million I would pay off our house, college funds for kids, pay off debts for family and friends, go back to college and take a nice vaction. Rest (if any) would go in savings
golds g. Oct 23, 2009, 3:19pm EDT
lol you better win soon! True a lot of people go through the money very quickly

Congrats to him! But I don't play the Ohio lottery. It's seldom people win big money like that here. When I'm visiting another state sometimes I'll play the lottery.

I do not play the lottery, I would have to consider it a donation. I think I would use it wisely if I won.
