        I hear about unemployed people winning the lotto all the time. Let's not act like we don't understand why she was in the casino.

        Difference between buying a couple dollar lotto tickets and betting a dollar or more each spin.

        You have a point. However, unless I missed it, there were no statements to indicate how much she spent. Could've been $20

        she's not entitled to the 43 mil but she should definitely be paid the 6500 the machine promises.
