At work I participate in an office pool. You know the usual pay $2.00, get a list of numbers the night of the drawing and see that you just wasted your money that could have bought a beer.
Well the other week must have been the 15th we had 4 numbers plus the mega number for a Mega Millions drawing. This meant our pool won $10,000.00 (USD) With 25% comming off for taxes from the start 9 of us are sharing $7500.00 leaving around 833 per person.
Yay!
MANNY!! COUSIN Manny!! Remember me ? It’s 'Ol Crane from yer aunt Ethels side!
Umm My old truck broke down… Can ya see your way clear to lend me about five grand? I shore need that old truck fixed.
833 bucks? Woot! Kegger at Manny’s!

Now you can buy 833 more lottery tickets!
Did I ever tell you what a great person I think you are?..
Weird… 14 guys at the plant I work at did the same thing! That is awesome Manny!
Did you guys hear Manny won $40 million on the lottery? Dang, lucky stiff.
Thank goodness. It’s nice to know that real people actually win these things. It reassuring since I’m about to sink my life savings into hitting the jackpot.
Thank you, Manny. You are truly an inspiration!
Seriously, though - congratulations!
