    This is when you’ll find out who true friends are. Couldn’t happen to a better person. Praying now for peace of minds. Jealousy will make people say negative things, turn a deaf ear and know this was meant to be. As the old saying goes good things come to those who wait. Your wait is over. Enjoy life to the fullest now. Love sis

    @nod, I agree $25 is a lot of money to spend on a lottery ticket, but this type behavior likely explains why 70% of lottery winners are bankrupt in a few years. Hopefully Mr. Miller invests and spends wisely and ends up in the 30% group.

    I have yet to figure out how anyone can afford $25 for a lottery ticket. If I had that kind of money I would probably be well off and not need to win a million. Congrats to Mr. Miller, my new best friend.
