The Power Ball. Three Tickets, please.

[jackiejj]

The Power Ball is now worth 312 million dollars.

I will divide it equally (when I win) with everybody in my family, right down to remote nieces and nephews, so I won't feel guilty.

I'll start with ~85 million after taxes and divide it by about 20.

Gosh.

God.

A pause to think.

OrI could buy everybody in the family, including remote nieces

that is a good plan I will keep in mind if
I ever win a lot of money which not having
a ticket I guess I may not but it is a fine
idea

[jackiejj]

I think it is a fine plan, too!

(I've thought about you every day and other friends of mine who loved people in Japan and knew it well as home.)

pizza coupons are the way to go.

when you win, though, i have a VERY VERY worthy charity for you to donate to.

namely me.

[jackiejj]

Well, you are so IN!

Here's hoping...

(PS: You look JUST LIKE Elizabeth Taylor!)

[orizarising]

my fingers are crossed!

and hee. she was a golden goddess, truly. i've always loved this snap of her.

[jackiejj]

I read somewhere that she was considered one of the most beautiful women who ever lived.

I don't know of anyone else who had natural violet eyes.

I have a relative who won a very large sum of money from the lottery. I'm think close to a million--I'm not sure.
They put it away, safely, while they kept on living life as usual and thought about what they would do. They were so unassuming, I'm not even sure what happened to it.

That was so sensible of them! There was a man who lived in Clinton, an older man past retirement who worked at McDonalds. I used to stop by on my way to work and pick up coffee from him at the drivethrough, and I'd feel so sorry for him, as his hands were arthritic and he seemed so tired.

Then he won a huge lottery! And bought Cadillacs for everyone in his family, and basically just had a wonderful time for the rest of his life!

Pizza coupons! That's the way to go and Jackie, you made me laugh out loud today with your post. You have no idea what a good deed that was.
:)

[jackiejj]

Oh, thank you!

My tickets--all three of them--are sitting beside my computer.

I may wait until in the morning to find out the winning numbers. That way I can have one night of happy dreams--

[daysprings]

Thank you for the chuckle, Jackie. I hope you win! Buy me a pizza coupon too, would you?

[jackiejj]

Of course!
