some smart mathematicians sometimes win money in the lottery because they calculate the chances of success according to another pattern. A relevant reason is that they managed to win twice or more and that means a big luck, that can be compared with succes of this woman's, but only the way it was won is different.

if you want to be a lottery player it is not difficult, but it is very hard to win big prizes and you can play a lifetime without winning big prizes. Here you can invest money in every month and that's it, but if luck comes... then it's very good.

A woman from North Carolina became a millionaire with a lottery ticket, and it was completely by accident, even if it is by accident that I was injured, I have won something relatively good in my life, the highest winnings in games have been below $ 800 in poker, casino or sports betting. I hope that luck will accompany me one day and win above 5K before I die ... hehehehehe

there is one or more poker rooms that have lotteries on their platforms and there you will find many options from several European countries or from Canada and the USA. This woman won a nice amount and we can win something, if our luck are good. I don't know if we will miss a lottery tickey and win because of that, but we can risk some money there.

I tried to play the lottery but for now i must to send a request to try and risk some money on the tickets, to find some numbers if i'm lucky. There is a European lottery where we have a chance to win more often, but the amounts are smaller. In the end it is acceptable.

it would be good for some rooms to offer games to different lotteries in the world, so that we can play there too. There is one but I will not name it because I do not know if this site allows. I think some lotteries are good to play and maybe we will be lucky with them.

the prize is good and she can continue to win smaller amounts if she plays. The mask on the face ruined this picture, but I hope she took other pictures without it. I think I'll try to play the lottery soon because I have a few hundred dollars in a poker room that has lottery games. They still haven't given me their approval for that.

it's nice to play the lottery even if the chances are lower and the risky money is lost much easier. The idea is that here the prizes can be very good even the secondary ones. This woman believed in her chance and did something beautiful.

I imagine what immense joy is in the souls of the lucky ones when they win, but this kind of luck is possessed by few people and whoever has not won, cannot really realize this thing. I think it is far too difficult to succeed in such a successful position, as a winner.
Lucky by being unlucky. There is no mathematics or strategy or whatever.. you just need to be that right person on the right time. As you see if she was that minute faster she would had nothing. Now she had the luck to be just too late. It will be a suprice every single time someone would win. Thats why its called a lotery.

I really like it when lucky people win because of other events in their lives that happen and do it exactly in such a way as to reach such lucky performances. When you think that a small mistake leads you to this luck, say that you are dreaming.
Spend well and have fun
