Once or week or so I buy a $2 scratch-off ticket. Those have a top prize of $20K.
Anyway, bought one last week when I was grocery shopping & put it in one of the bags. Got home & couldn't find it anywhere.
Then today when I was at our coat closet I spotted it laying on the shelf above. Turned out to be a winner of $10. Not much but still something.
Do you buy lottery tickets? I hear that the Powerball Jackpot is now at $1.09B. Can't even imagine what I'd do with that huge amount. I'd be content with winning $1M.
I'd buy me a nice house, a brand new truck, a big ass fishing boat & a Harley D. motorcycle. And put the rest in my savings account & I'd be happy.
Don't think I'd really want billions 'cause then family members I never knew I had would be knocking at my door & a big number of past acquaintances would suddenly remember who I am.  |

That is so true, you would have friends you never even met. Ha ha. I also would be happy with one million.

Bob, in PA winners of huge lottery amounts, their names are published in the newspaper. So, not only would I get alot of new friends I'd have solicitors coming to my house or sending me mail to sell me all kinda things.  |

Paul, was in the habit of buying the same ticket for awhile then I got a different one I'm sticking with. 'Cause more often than not I win some money. Only $2 to $10 but the top prize is $20,000. Just maybe I'll get that one.  |

I never buy any of the various lottery tickets but based on your comments, I hope I'm one of your "close friends" in case you snag a big winner !!  |

Dave, funny. But that brings up this point: suppose I posted here that I'd won lotsa millions? Wouldn't take long before the search engine bots that visit this group spread the news all over the Internet. Then I'd hear from a whole bunch of new friends. |
