If the food stinks you can just blame the morgue.

Just wait until your best friend plays with bees and then you see him lying on the mortician table because it turns out he's allergic to bees.

My boss won a Mercedes about ten years ago. Got the call during our morning round table. She took the cash option.

I won 6000$ last year. Had absolutely no idea, it was a sponsor item so it came in an envelope from the travel agent. Thankfully my wife opened it, I thought it was just recylcing.

Won a DVD player about 15 years ago. First and only time I ever bought a ticket. I figured I used up all my luck on that ticket and never bought another again.

It's like all the other lotteries, you'll finish empty handed but at least the money goes to a good cause rather than the government.

My sister won $30,000. on a scratch ticket, and her daughter, my niece, won a $15,000. boat on "roll up to win" at Tim Hortons. She didn't even buy coffee at the time, she bought tea instead.

It's amazing how one's luck runs in 3s. In one month years ago, my wife won a free trip to Mexico, $ 2,000. at bingo, and a new washer and drier.

Sure she did. Bad news, she has a sugar daddy.

I won a lifetime supply of Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer once. It was a 4 pack once a month for a year.

i knew someone (was their banker) who won the home who had lived in much cheaper accommodations prior. They couldn't afford the upkeep so they got a credit line on the home and then sold it after 6 months or a year. I can't remember how long they had to hold the home for before selling it, but they couldn't just sell it.
