$64 million Lotto tonight, and I just checked my numbers
Guess I'm going to work on Monday.

Maybe the office pool group won.

Probably just as well. How much sleep would I get between now and Monday HAD I won?

1. Did you really get a Bad Math Tax ticket?
You're better with money than that, right?

2. It's only
bad math if you expect to win, which I really don't.

Like most "gambling" it's the thrill in the roll of the dice. It's $1 to indulge in fantasy.

5. Nope.
Still got monthly fees on both...ahem...ends.

Besides, different fantasy. One is a sure and pending reality, the other allows a lot of good work to be done, yet isn't really envisioned. Though, $64 million might help me envision a Lamborghini...my only vice.

9. I've driven
a Countach, and though the clutch was excrutiating, I'd lavish in those keys just for a little daily enjoyment.

Then, back to Earth. I'd sell it for cost (I'd buy one slightly used, let the original buyer take the depreciation) and sell it in a year.

Nobody's reaching a fast food window from a car that has a roofline that comes up to the hips.

7. Sweet!
That's 20 years of dog food for the rescues!!!

Actually, it's $9k a year in return, when wisely invested, that can perpetually do great things while never touching the $100k. Very kind of you, Robeson!
