Talk about scams. I just collected all of the lottery tickets I bought during Feb while I was on vacation. Usually bought a ticket when I purchased newspapers and coffee, just for the halibut.
Normally, I NEVER buy tickets unless the payout exceeds $100M. For anything less than that, it would just screw up my income tax forms.
Went thru 22 tickets: ZERO winners. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
But at least I just got a nice e-mail notification that I won $2.9M. Came from Sir
Bobby Bruce ... Not Sir Robert Bruce, but good old Bobby Joe Bruce.
