winners.

I have a very detailed plan for what I would do if I ever won a LARGE sum of money, aan it does not include taking advice from them. Hmmmm. .I am being told that one actually has to PURHASE tickets in order to win?? Who came up with that silly rule??? And if that is the case, why do I keep getting emails and calls about wonderful prizes I have won, in contests I never entered.
