    Money does not solve all your problems. After you have bought it all or done it all. I can get tiring. So I can understand why they did this. Perhaps they want to employ more people and help their community. Who knows? Hey! who said they might be building work into their lives..they probably have others do the worrying for them and the work as well :))

    in 1997 my Dad won $1 million on the Hoosier Lottery television show. Seems like a lot but in the end it was not. Broken up into small chunks over the years. By the time Uncle Sam gets done with the money there is not even enough to buy a new car each year. Sad thing is that they take Federal Taxes out of the check before he gets it and then he has to claim the rest on income taxes at the end of the year.

    @thewritecontent wow $1 million. If only you have invested it in business or bought bonds or other investments. For me, i play lottery once every 30 years. or was it twice every 30 years? Money is better invested somewhere.

    Yeah, the probability of winning is too low, but I guess it's nice to have the feeling that you could win :)

    Like praying to god.. it's not like it would really help but ppl still do it :)
