Oh, well.

I was on break with a couple of the women at work, and we were discussing the big jackpot. That reminded me of the winning scratch-off somebody left on a table a few days ago (all of $1!), so I gave it to D. as a contribution to her fantasy. Then G. threw in a dollar and we sent D. off to get the ticket. (She has no money to spare so she contributed the labour.)

Too bad! I’m sure we could each have found _something_ to do with our 166M$.

Somebody won. I wasn’t me. sigh.

OK, two winners, Missouri and Arizona. That gives us a clue on where to start hunting them down.
