Sometimes winning the lottery jackpot couldn’t happen to better people and that the case for the Enderson family. There are 17 siblings in the family and they just won the New Jersey lottery worth $20 million. It was a dream of their deceased mother to win the lottery, and they finally did it.

We've all daydreamed about hitting the jackpot. I rarely buy lottery tickets but when I do I admit I daydream about what I would do with the money. I think I would be practical and pay off my debt, maybe buy a new car, new furniture, maybe even a new cell phone (that's funny if you know the phone I have!). Would you still work? A new survey from Career Builder says, most of us would.

Those two winning tickets were sold in Atlanta, and San Jose, California! So I guess I am not the BIG winner, but there is still money to be won. Check those tickets!  The winning numbers were.....

Lottery players in Maine and across the nation will be hoping their holiday dreams come true this week as the multi-state Mega Millions lottery jackpot has reached $400 million!

Cookie jars, for many years, have been a place people put money to either save or to just have around the house. Ricardo Cerezo, a Chicago man, would buy lottery tickets and stuff them in his cookie jar.  He didn’t check the tickets before storing them in the cookie jar, thinking if he did need cash, maybe one of the tickets would have a little money on it for a rainy day.

Over the weekend a $2 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Canaan Superette. The winner matched five numbers and turned the $1 million prize into $2 by playing the Power Play option.

Plan and simple, playing the lottery is way of letting people dream. Dream of paying off bills, buying a new house or car, helping our family, yet the odds of winning are rare. We know the odds are high but we still buy a ticket with the hope of winning. The lottery is the solution to all of our problems and it takes little to no effort to play and for just a couple of dollars, the chance to win m

Everyone who plays the lottery has their own fantasy of what they'd do first if they won. Two brothers from Wichita, Kan. celebrated their big lottery win by buying meth and weed, which resulted in them accidentally blowing-up their house and getting arrested...

We all wish it would happen to us…win the lottery! Steven and Terry Weaver of Little Rock, Ark. are no different, so on their way to a long day of fishing they stopped to by a lottery ticket. As they fished that day they had no idea the lottery ticket they bought was a winner, so on the way home they stopped at the same store and bought another ticket...

Goodwill towards man has become goodwill towards the unemployed man this holiday in Spain.

Nolan Daniels did not win hundreds of millions of dollars as part of last week's record breaking Powerball $588 million jackpot. But he did trick millions of people on Facebook into thinking he had.

On Wednesday, the Powerball lottery reached a record $587.5 million. So far two winning tickets have been announced, one in Arizona and one in Missouri. But there's at least one more guaranteed winner: the Internal Revenue Service. Lottery winners can take their prize in the form of a lump sum or an annuity paid over the next 29 years...

We'll probably never be this excited, even if Ben & Jerry's comes out with that Jeff Goldblum-themed ice cream we've been dreaming of. This is video of a man who is just realizing he won the massive $587.5 million dollar Powerball Jackpot. Apparently he went around showing everybody because he actually couldn't believe his eyes. The ticket was bought in Arizona, but the video taken is from Mar

America had Powerball fever! A record jackpot of almost 580 million dollars was drawn last night. I awoke this morning to hear that two winning tickets were bought, one in Arizona and the other in Missouri.

I have a big fat loosing Powerball ticket sitting on my desk. Heck, it was fun to dream for a little while about the 'what ifs' of winning $579 million and what great things I could do! I would have been VERY generous with the money if I had won. But every Maine lottery ticket, winner or loser helps Maine’s General Fund. Winning tickets were bought in Arizona and Missouri.

Maybe karma is real -- the man in this video, Bill Morgan, was in a car accident. Then he developed a heart condition. He was allergic to the medicine doctors gave him to treat it and had a heart attack. In fact, his heart stopped for 14 minutes, and he went into a coma. They were about to pull the plug on his life support when things turned around.
