Guess Who’s Feelin’ Lucky
Can you guess which celeb likes to play scratch-and-win lottery games (and apparently has an affinity for Marlboro Reds in a box) despite being one of the most beloved and well-respected folks in the game?

This person excels in movies, on TV, on stage, in comedy clubs, as a writer and has even won an Academy Award … and they still like playing the lottery! After the jump, find out who it is …
Why, it’s the amazing Whoopi Goldberg:

As Whoopi gears up for her second season as one of the hosts of The View, she can currently be seen on stage in the Broadway version of Xanadu and can apparently be found in convenience stores picking up lottery tix ;) I just love this woman … and I love that she likes to play scratch-offs … someone else I know and love dearly is a fan of playing scratch-off lottery tix, tho I make him scratch his tickets (that he buys every time he accompanies me to the grocery store) before he gets in my car — and that was before I bought my new VW Tiguan … but I am SO digressing. At any rate, Wee! for Whoopi!

Reds? The explains her scratchy ass throat…well, maybe not. She did go out with Ted Danson and ugly older due Frank Langella.

playing the lotto is actually beneficial to the economy. Everyone should play at least the dollar scratch offs once in a while.
