\nnumber \"2858\" of the same rented bridal car used in their
\nweddings drew third prize in last week's draw, the report said.<\/p>\n
\"Winning the lottery is a double blessing. How often do you
\nhave marital bliss and strike the lottery at the same time ?\"

\n16,000 dollars to go on a one week matchmaking tour of Vietnam
\norganized by Sin Ye.<\/p>\n

\nbecause she looked like the sort who would take good care of me,\"

\nbet.<\/p>\n
