The 65-year-old man from Salisbury, Maryland won $2 million just by playing the $2,000,000 Richer scratch-off game many years ago and has since then continued to play it.

Posted by dule-vu: America is big country,so its very easy for them to have big prizes!
Yes it is. In Uruguay we are barely a little more than 3 million people. So it is natural that the prizes are not so great. What I have read about the United States lottery is that one can choose between receiving the prize in a single payment (and has to pay a good sum for taxes) or receiving annual payments, up to a term of 30 years (but receiving the award in its entirety).

in that of the lottery is to have a lot of luck to be the lucky one to win the big prize, there are people who have several years playing and have not won anything and others that if, has tried to see if there is luck.

this kind of lotteries are much cheaper for play,then to play casino,poker or to bet on sports!I know that you can still spend lot of money on tickets,but still you will stop at some points,especially when you choose your own numbers!

Lotteries give a lot of money for sure , if you are lucky enough you will have a lot of money to spend for sure , even lifetime for some lotteris draws . I have heard and read of some lotteries in the US awarding mamy millions or even sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars in jackpots , really awesome !!!!!
That's a nice one from a single scratchcard. Here in belgium we got one scratchcard to win 1 million euros, but its also 20 euro for it. So thats allready a lot of money for one card. The common cards we play for just like 5 euro's to win about 100.000 or 200.000. The most popular is the win for life. The highest amount i've won is just like 30 euro's. But i don't play it just when i get it for christmas gift

its great that in this kind of lotteries,like lotto or this one,you can just pick your number of just to buy ticket and to wait will your serial number be winning!you dont need lot of mone,lot of brain to play this kind of games!its pure luck!
I congratulate him! I think he deserved it! I think utility workers everywhere work for little pay around the world ... you can live carefree in retirement for that much! However, I don't agree with his good advice ... I think people buy lottery tickets to win,and not to enjoy the game. and I don't think anyone buys a lottery ticket to win little money ...

Awesome amount of money . Life changing . If I ever won so much , I would invest 1.5M at once , money loses its value , recession might come , having some land or apartments or GOLD is always nice . Lol
