On our Celebrity cruise to the southern Caribbean over Christmas with our family we all bought raffle tickets for a $300 drawing held in the casino one evening. The only caveat was you had to be present to win! The first number called the owner of the ticket wasn’t present….good for me as the next number drawn was mine! It’s true….the “Love Boat” (as one of my colleagues called our cruise on Facebook) paid off!
Well Dorie Dillard, I can tell by your photo, you are one lucky gal. Hope you win the big lottery one day!

Good morning Dorie and congratulations. How nice to win twice: first by spending a great and special time with family and secondly with the jackpot.

Does not seem to matter the size of the winnings. Just being the winner makes a difference and is always exciting. Congrats. Mark

Good afternoon Dorie,
I was at the company party last month and also had to stay way to late.
The better half woke me from a nice cat nap to say you better get up there with the ticket but it was only $100!
Congratulations on the winnings.
Make yourself an astonishing day.
