BERLIN -- Lottery officials say a woman in Germany carried a winning ticket in her purse for weeks without realizing it was worth about 33 million euros ($39 million).

Lotto Bayern said Wednesday that the 45-year-old woman was the sole winner of a draw on June 9, having correctly guessed seven fields on a German lottery ticket.

It said she plans to use her lucky windfall to live a healthy life and do more for the environment.

Lotto Bayern is German for Lottery (of) Bavarian. In German, they say Bayern (buy-urn) instead of Bavaria.

The BMW automobile is the acronym for Bavarian Motor Works.

I don't speak German fluently, but I have a decent understanding of it.

My favorite lotto winner was an elderly lady over 20 years ago, who after winning over $50 Million said, “I’ll finally be able to buy that couch I’ve been wanting.”

SMDH! Do like most would. Go to Vegas. You’re sure to double your money and then you can help the environment twice as hard.

I’d be helping the environment by blasting through it in a new BMW 8i if I were her. It’s only $150K and it’s a hybrid so she could still keep her friends.

The best and most cost-effective thing the Germans can do for the environment is to restart their nuclear plants.

My favorite Lotto winner was a guy who decided to live the high life in Atlantic City until it was all gone, then go back to work.

My favorite Lotto winner was a guy in Ohio who won it 5 times and the last win for 1 million he gave to his daughter.

And yes the FBI did question him on how he selected the numbers every time.

When you know how the system works your a winner every time.

FBI questioned him....?

For what crime?

Is the winning the evidence?

My answers to the FBI would be short.

"I'm just lucky."

"I don't have to sit here and answer your accusations. If you have evidence then charge me. If not leave me alone."

Then when then trot out the "If you've got nothing to hide...." line, I respond:

"That's what you say to everybody you try to entrap."

He didn’t give them any thing to work with just said he guessed them

Your right but I like to tell them get away from me unless you have papers.

I believe I would spend just a bit on the improvement of my personal environment.

Years ago I read of an old West Virginia woman who either got a massivie inheritance, or won some huge amount of money, perhaps in a lottery.

The reporters climbed up the hill to her shack and asked her what she would do with the money. She looked around the bare furnishings and dirt floor, and said, "Give it to the poor, I guess."
