Mike Raimondi got everything handed to him. His daddy probably gave him that store.

gee maybe the lottery should stop taking 50% of everything collected and allocating just 25% to lower prizes.. its a huge ripoff. i refuse to play most numbers games, at least scratch offs give back more, albeit still only 65%. raise it to 80% and more will buy maybe
