I would be under the poor house if I play the tag of these rude drivers. Although I did win once from a tag at a service while getting gas. I had never seen a tag with all the same numbers so I decided to put $1 on it and it came out, 5555. Congratulations to that winner

We have plenty if crazy drivers here too so I might just try that.

I did play numbers I saw in dreams and won small amounts, but nothing big.

Maybe if you would have played 10 tickets @ $1 straight you would have won too, that's what he did.

Strange that Maryland had two good winners on LP this week.

These games are RNG so the computer must've liked the winning combinations somehow.

It happens often enough here in Md. b ut that guy must've really been to remember the plate number and do all that.

Good thing he didn't lose, he would've been .
