well the same thing as the previously mentioned people The one conclusion the Free Press came to In its survey that the lottery Corporation didn t was the fact that of nil the tottery winners in Acton and likely everywhere else most are still buying lottery tickets and they all think that lady luck will strike with another big win The Lottery Corporation survey of people found that per cent of the winners thought they received fair treatment by the media per cent were asked for money and two per cent found It to be a problem per cent of the winners did not give tip their jobs per cent banked or invested their money 41 per cent shared their money or gave it away to charities per cent bought new vehicles or bought a new home per cent went on a vacation six per cent continued their education and five per cent paid off their debts In all the Lottery Corporation estimated they have given away over million prizes ranging from free tickets to 13 million dollars since lotteries were made legal
