Someone's life just changed . . . .

Someone within a 20 mile radius of me just won $180.1 million in the Powerball lottery. Sadly, it wasn't me. I'm really hoping it's one of my friends who takes great pity on us and throws 75 or 80 G's our way. Hell, I'd even take 10.

I hope they live in Northfield, and give the city enough money to put up an awesome rec center. Or that they'll build a large indoor park facility for these frigid winter months. How about covering all free/reduced school lunches in perpetuity? A new High School is sorely needed. So are about 20 more ESL teachers. And the Park Board would love to give our citizens all the rec programs they need. Oh, and how about free pool passes for everyone under 18?

My local blogging pals - if you are the winner, well, I'm just sayin.

Done and done.

Too bad I do not play the lottery....

I heard about this even before I'd sat down at my desk this morning. Amazing. It ain't me, or you'd already have been down at the bank, using part of my huge deposit into your checking account to pay off your mortgage.

I would have hooked you up for life if I had won. Oh well, I'm still in on the Mega Millions for this Tuesday and Friday and it's over $100 million.

I once hit 4 numbers, or was it three? I can't remember... but all I got was $7. I feel like they should have a better distribution system of the money. If I get 4 numbers, I should have gotten at least 8-bucks.

If I won--I surely wouldn't be holding any news conferences though. I have too many creditors and too much baggage in my past to let people know what my REAL address is.

If I won, I think I'd buy a Coke-a-Cola machine. Or maybe two.
