The most exciting thing about the lottery is that it has the power to change lives in just a few seconds.
Best run US state lottery?
New Jersey.

I would buy some type of small island and move there immediately.
Can you share an interesting fact about yourself?
The most I’ve ever won from any single lottery game is $30.
