Hmmm… wonder if the oldest boy won? Hrm… news sites saying no one from Iowa won. (They only report big winners in the hours just after the drawing.)
Guess I’ll just have to figure on the usual for our anniversary week-end: he goes to the Shop and fixes something, I stay home and play my facebook games, we both get hammered and he gives me extra cash for my games.
Anything else that happens is private.
And fun.
My pets are not amused and really, really wanted more personal servants.
I almost won. I got one number + the Powerball. So that’s like… really, practically, almost there. I get $4 for it, but I think it should be at least a million, considering the overall pot size. Stupid non-scaling prizes.
Though the winning ticket was sold just a few miles from where I live. My mom emailed me excitedly with that information wondering if I had won, but alas I had not.
Shockingly, I did not win either. Haven’t checked the actual numbers, but the news stories say where the winners came from, and it ain’t me. But… maybe I got 5 of the numbers!!!
That’s remarkably close to the expected average return over the long term for such a small number of tickets. This must mean that on the lucky scale, which ranges from “always followed around by a black cloud of doom” to “has golden horseshoe up ass” you are very very … average!
But she must surely be delighted that they didn’t get eaten by sharks (odds are 25 times greater) or killed by cows (odds are 100 times greater) or ants (odds are 150 times greater)!
