What a great article, and especially your profound thought, that yes, some people really do have all the luck. What a refreshing idea, after all the nonsense being pedaled to the masses by Oprah Winfrey and the writers of "The Secret" suggesting that all you have to do is think positive thoughts and you too can be rich, or have what ever you want. Yeah tell that to the people suffering in Africa, or the innocent citizens living with war in their countries, or to all who are losing their jobs and homes in our country! If they only knew it was as easy as positive thinking!
Pleeease!
BUT! I hated your mean spirited comment about Tori Spelling ... I would love to have her as a daughter. She seems like a wonderful woman. SO THERE!

She donates a car for a charity auction and then purchases a raffle ticket and wins it back???? Boy, I'm glad I didn't purchase for THAT charity!!! What a scam!! Give some of your money to your daughter (and grandkids!). Poor Tori, having to grow up with a witch of a mom! There must be alot of "Mommie Dearest" stories in 'celebrityville'!!!!

If only Tori could have won that money! Not her greedy big eyeball "Mommie Dearest!" What is your problem Candy! Why can't you get along with your daughter! Why are you hoarding all the money! Hope you're reading this and refer to Joy's comment! She is right! Tori seems like a wonderful person! I wish I knew her and have her as my friend! I know we could be like "sisters"!

Candy, I hope your enjoying your money and the car you won back, while everyone else is suffering financially or awaiting (long periods of time) for God to bless them financially.... Enjoy while you can, everything here on this earth is temporary! Life is too short to be greedy and mean-spirited and making enemies with your daughter!(If you are so smart while hoarding money, you know what I mean!)

To Joy, Sally and all who made comments regarding Tori Spelling's mom..... GOOD JOB! GOOD COMMENTS! Have a blessed Christmas! I wish you all "Good Health" and "Financial Blessings!" And when you get blessed (in which you will definitely), remember to be kind and have a good heart while you have possession of these blessings from our heavenly Father above! Don't allow yourselves to change for the worse and become like "you know who's mom"... remember..."Mind over Matter".....and if people who are "Mean Spirited"or bad, can have money, so can the "Good, kind-hearted people".....enjoy your blessings you will get as well as the ones you already have...

The comment about Tori was a tacky one to make. Shame on you. She is as good as any of the rest of us...

what is that disease that causes your eyeballs to bulge, as in Candy's case?

Candy is very lucky to have all that money to keep her warm at night. She has nothing else. I know how Tori feels, my mother is the same why. She always puts other people or herself first. Thats happened all my life. I would never do that to my children, I love them with all my heart, and everything that is mine is their's to. TO CANDY:MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU LOVE. GO GET RIGHT WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.

Well.. how very very nice Candy, dandy won all that money!!! she needs to be giving her winnings to her GRANDCHILDREN and help her adorable daughter who didn't know what a mother was!!!SHE IS AN hollywood trash in my book!!!!

SLOT MACHINE: I play the quarter machine, 5 coin max and so I am playing $1.25 per pull. Last year I won $1,000. jackpot, the max prize. If Candy is playing $1,000 per pull High Stakes Slots the max payout should have been $800,000.00. Winning $190,000 or $200,000 on a $1,000 a pull slots happens pretty often. When you consider I might let myself get in for up to $200 per session, Candy probably walks away at times down $160,000.00. That is only being down by 160 pulls over the number of pulls you won. She wins big and LOSES BIG. Just the way the odds are. But she gets more free buffets than I do!

..and that wonderful lady gave it all to charitable causes right...how kind of her...!!!!!

Good for her. What most people don't realize is how much she has probably put in those machines over the years. You don't win jackpots like that very often playing quarter machines. If she's got the monet to play a 1000 a yank then who are we to complain. They don't build those big hotels on people winning all the time. It's basic sense. I can assure you that she probaly has lost just as much over the years playing. Plus you get to pay Uncle Sam an average of 30 %. You can only deduct your losses up to a certain point. More garbage media to upset the masses without all the info. Damn the rich, the new motto!!! Souns like jealousy to me

i sure hope she donated that money & car...why not donate it to a charity that helps our troops when they return from war and come home USA to nothing...no help from our gov't., but bailout all these a.h.'s that got themselves into their money probs themselves...donate candy donate...

The writer has obviously never been to The Bellagio...all the slots are coinless, using vouchers only with $$ credits on them.

Makes you know Karma is an operative thing. The trick is to be a good person besides so the good karma isn't used up in one lifetime.

Candy is deserving of everything she has. I feel bad as our children are our greatest wealth, I too have a child that won't communicate. Very difficult to fathom and understand?

Would love to play poker at Steve Kurtz's house oneday...
