Drive, She Said: Florida Lottery Second-Chance Winner Takes Home a Ford Mustang V6 Convertible

It began as the ultimate Florida baseball weekend. And ended with a woman winning a Mustang convertible. Remember how a few weeks ago, I talked about second-chance drawings and the better odds when you participate in those contests? Well, a few days ago, Florida announced the results of the final contest in their Mustang Money [...]

Twice is Nice: Lucky Georgia Lottery Player Wins $1,000 and then $777,777 in Consecutive Weeks

Talk about a run of luck (we should all be so lucky)…. Meet Mr. Earl Fritz, 62, of Augusta, Ga. One week he wins $1,000 playing the scratch game “Extreme Green.” Then, one week later, it’s back to scratching…and he won $777,777 playing “Super 7s.” “I felt lucky last week when I cashe in a [...]

Florida Woman Has a “Spectacular” Moment, Wins $1,000,000

Mercedes Marriot, 56, of Orlando, Fla., had the kind of experience I’ll bet all of us would like to have. You play your favorite scratch game. You begin to scratch. And scratch. And you see you’ve won a little. A few zeros after the one. Then, more zeros. And suddenly, you are a millionaire. That’s [...]

Luck Runs in this Family: Georgia Husband Hits Scratch Game $5,000 Prize; One Week Later, Wife Wins $1 Million

A Georgia couple has won big time jackpots in consecutive weeks, proving (I guess) that luck does run in families. One week after her husband, Chuck, netted a $5,000 lottery win, Karen Hill plucked her own $1 million prize playing the Georgia Lottery instant game, World Class Millionaire. First, I’ve gotta tell you. It’s a [...]

History for Sale: New Hampshire’s First Lottery Ticket, Circa: 1964, Goes On Auction Block

For those of you who’ve read the history section of my book, this won’t come as a surprise. Colonial America was, in part, financed by legitimate lotteries. From the original settlers in Jamestown, Va. through the revolutionary years and beyond, money was raised for schools, roads, etc by lotteries. It was only when graft and [...]

“Lucky” Lady Wins $10,000 Playing Connecticut Lottery

Some people have all the “Luck.” Tanya Smith, whom I met during her break while working at a Norwalk, Connecticut motel, is one of those people. Charming, vivacious, and beautiful, Tanya told me all about her most recent win, a second place prize of $10,000, playing a new Connecituct Lottery game, Lucky-4-Life. Tanya told me [...]

Florida Second Chance Winner Opts for Cash over a New Mustang

I love second-chance drawings. Most people don’t realize how good your odds are (compared to regular games) when you play. You scratch a game ticket, you are a non-winner, then you send in the card for a drawing. Guarantee you, not as many people send in their non winning tickets as buy the card (and [...]

Florida Lottery Winner Drives Away With Cash, Not New Car

People who don’t play the lottery too often don’t realize that state lotteries give away prizes…like cars, motorcycles, and trips and clothes… as well as money. In fact, the whole phenomenon of what those in the business call “second chance” games is designed to stir up business. To let players know that even if you [...]

Florida Lottery Scratch Off Player Takes it to ‘The Max,’ Wins $1 Million

Let’s hear it for Luis Aguilar Jr., 23, of Hialeah, who recently claimed the $1 million top prize at Florida Lottery headquarters. He’s not a regular player (he says), which gives all of us who play “only” a few times a week hope. I’ve said it over and over again on radio talk show…when I’m [...]
