For a lot of Americans, winning the lottery may seem like their only way out of whatever situation they are in. Most who play, never are afforded a chance to win, and some see it as just another way to give money to a statist system. Now there are those who do win from time to time, and it is one of those individuals we will cover today. The 2nd largest lottery in US history 380 million dollars, was first won by a Washington State resident, Jim McCullar,

Holly will most likely have to give her husband, most likely soon-to-be ex-husband, half of her winnings. If we were her husband, we would be on the look out, because maybe she could have used some of that money to hire a…
