Why is a millionaire even bothering with a lottery. Wait, he’s a politician, so his judgement is questionable by nature.

Senator Gregg (R-NH) won a pretty good chunk of change in the lottery a couple years ago.

I call for immediate investigations into the corruption of this Republican with an obvious gambling problem.

When he won the lottery in 1997 he was at a covenience store to buy beer for an office party. He was an instant winner of $250k and still came back to the party with Old Milwaukee.

Cheap screw.

Maybe he rigged it.

Elections are rigged, why not lotteries...

Doesn't he know that a lottery is a regressive tax on the poor?

Why anyone worth north of 10 Mill would even bother with lottery tickets eludes me.

A lottery ticket is simply the purchase of a dream.

What few realize is that if the dream is realized, for many the nightmare begins..

The latest winnings came in a Super 2nd Chance drawing, in which people who mail in at least $5 in losing tickets vie for 10 $1,000 prizes each week

Not only is he a millionaire and a Senator, he apparently has the time (or the staff) to save his losing lottery tickets and mail them in for the 2nd chance drawing!

I wonder if he has a staffer to clip grocery store coupons for him too?
