     You've got to admit that David Hester has the touch when it comes to the Fantasy Five lottery game.
     Two years ago, the Summerville man won 30-thousand dollars.
     He used it to put a new roof and front porch on his home.
     Now he's looking for more projects around the house.
     Hester won another 31-thousand dollars in last week's Fantasy Fire drawing.
     And the winning ticket came from a freebie from another drawing.

David Hester How will he spend the new money?

“I don’t know yet,” he said.

“I’ll probably work on my house some more.”

The lottery has been lucky for Hester on another front, too.

His daughter is attending Georgia Northwestern Technical College with the lottery-funded HOPE Grant.

If he won 31 grand he will probably take home 18 to 20 after taxes not alot but more than I have but if I won it after paying bills I am behind on and fixing things that HAVE to be fixed I would have none left to help anyone so don't expect him to.If I won the big pay out it would be a different story entirely.Alot of my family needs help and I would give to St. Judes Make a wish Foundation, Heart, Cancer and Diabetes research.

I have yet to hear that someone will take their winnings and help a family member or even a stranger in need.

If I ever win, the first thing I would do is help my nephew with Cerebral Palsy, and my mother with her financial situation and medical needs, as well as other family and friends.

Maybe he doesnt know anyone

Maybe he doesnt know anyone with problems like your family has. Honestly 30000 dollars after tax isnt crap you might have 10000 left if your lucky that want even touch most peoples bills if he wants to work on his house then I would say thats a great investment. Anyways what he does with his money is his choice if he won millions I would say he would help his family or maybe he doesnt have any family did you consider that.

So, what I hear you saying

Submitted by Guest (not verified) on October 30, 2009 - 11:22am.

So, what I hear you saying is, why won't HE help YOU? Is that about right? Seriously? You, like so many others who post this type of crap here, think you are entitled to what someone else has because you didn't get it and he did. It's not fair. I want one too. What about the level playing field?! All this greed.

Look, it's real simple. You can't win if you don't play. He paid to play and he won. He doesn't owe you ANYthing. So stop the whiney-@ssed, cry-baby BS and deal with reality for a change.
