When 87-year-old Earl Livingston fell as he was on his way to buy a Mega Millions ticket this week, it wasn't good. Livingston broke his hip on Tuesday and was admitted to a New Jersey hospital. The staff asked Livingston if he wanted to be a part of the hospital lottery pool. He said yes.  The pool wound up winning $1 million in Tuesday's drawing. Livingston and 141 other players will split the money. A bad break turned into something positive.
