I know we are all in a bind right now, but for those of you with gambling problems like me... I found this site not too long ago and purchased a raffle ticket. The odds are pretty good and you can win multiple prizes. They have a refer a friend drawing too, so if you decide to purchase a ticket put my name (Cecilia Velez) down on the referral so we both get tickets in that drawing, in addition to what you purchase. The tickets are pricey ($150), but have better odds than the lottery and it is for a good cause (Child Crisis Center).
