Speaking of the Lottery...for a good book read pick up David Baldacci's "The Winner". It's a fiction thriller mystery of a trailer park gal who wins the lottery. Baldacci, however, portrays the lottery selection process as a big Government profit machine that preys on not so intelligent poor people who become all starry-eyed over winning. These poor people are purposefully chosen, and the lottery itself is rigged. Purposefully chosen because they know nothing about investments and usually wind up declaring bankruptcy over taxes and other issues that allow the government to swoop in soon after they won. I highly recommend it as an excellent read. It really puts a feasible scenario to the lottery process. Although fiction, you wind up wondering if it's truer than the truth.
