Whenever a Maryland man buys a Powerball ticket, he always spends $1 more buying a second chance ticket. “ If you are going to play, you should give yourself a second chance to win,” the Baltimore man told Maryland Lottery officials in a May 23 news release.

A lottery player tried her luck on a new game — and it paid off big time. “I had to read the instructions on the ticket like 10 times just to make sure I was looking at it right ,” Natalie Vega told the North Carolina Education Lottery.

It’s an old saying, but it paid off for an 80-year-old Michigan woman, who recently turned a non-winning ticket into a $100,000 second chance prize playing the Michigan Lottery. The Barry County woman, who chose to remain anonymous, won the prize playing the $300,000,000 Extraordinaire second chance game.

I’ve had lots of luck with scratch-off tickets,” said the Maryland winner, who “always dreamed about finding a really big winner.”

The state's in-demand vocational schools will most likely turn to a lottery admissions system, and the MCAS will still be in "limited" use.

Imagine going to work not realizing you're a millionaire — that's exactly what happened to one Canadian lottery winner.

Natalie Vega stopped at a gas station in Archdale, North Carolina, and decided to buy a $5 scratch-off Prize Link Multiplier ticket.
