Am I feeling lucky? Am I?

Well, folks, by this time tomorrow I could be a millionaire. Yes, today I made my first-ever lottery ticket purchase. I don't really know why, I just felt called to make the purchase. I hope this was the call of the Holy Spirit, and not the subliminal call of a radio ad campaign, but who knows. Assuming I win, the prize is $31 million paid in 26 annual installments. In all likelihood, I would take a lump sum payment, though, and invest. The odds of winning are ridiculously low, but I figure that even if I don't win, at least my $1 is going, in part, to support CA schools. I'll let you know when I don't win.

Someone has to win...why not you?! You have a history of being fairly lucky. It's the luck o' the Irish, I suppose. Naturally, I would love to see you win...what might that mean for me? :-)

I said I would let you know when I didn't when, so I'm letting you know that I did not, in fact, win the $31M lottery. The pot is up to $40M now, though, so who knows, maybe next time.

I'm sorry...for both of us! I was looking forward to retiring. Better luck next time.
