    You are so lucky! Some people just seem to win lotteries and draws. I have inherited the ability never to win a lottery from my maternal grandmother, whose only win was in a hotel draw, at a dinner, where none of the prizes was spectacular, but there were some good ones. The first prize winner could choose anything, the second all except the prize already chosen etc. Gran won the first prize, but missed hearing the announcement and so ended up with the prize that no one else wanted (something like a bar of soap!).



    I haven't entered a lottery for years, so I don't expect to win a big prize!

    Update: when I was in Singapore, I received an email from TattsTech Production on my IPhone. I saw the first two lines. It said 'Dear D, Congratulations. Your Super 7's Oz Lotto ticket (Tatts Number 52xxxxxxxx) was a winner in draw 951 on 08/05/12.



    I jumped and cried 'Yeah' - 'Yes' 'Yes'. - I was happy until I read further ---



    "under normal circumstances, minor wins are credited to your Tatts Internet account overnight, (arrrghhhh I hate that word ' MINOR' ..lol) ...so you should find the amount of $28.60 in your Tatts Internet account by 8.00am tomorrow" ;(



    Sorry guys and dolls...we didn't win much;) no fear..we will try again;) -DF

    Oh yeah, here is a cool thing...

    In my state, the lottery funds a college scholarship program. If you choose an in-state school and maintain a certain GPA, your college tuition is paid for. Our twin sons got their degrees without ever paying tuition. Thank you lottery players!

      Really. Maybe they should have the same programme all over the world. It will help many in need of education.

      No kidding! Unfortunately, only about 10% maintain the scholarship throughout college. They recently raised the GPA requirement and a bunch of whiners complained. Hey, if you want your tuition paid for, I think you should have to earn it.

    I love this story, Duchess. You shared your big win with everyone. That says a lot about your heart. *Which I already knew was bigger than any million dollar lottery win*
