About last night’s 1.5 Billion dollar Powerball…

…Didn’t win.

Back to work.

…sigh…

Seriously, I absolutely never gamble or pick up lottery tickets.  But I’ll be damned if this particular drawing and its enormous jackpot didn’t tempt me enough to give in and give it a try.  Not a big try, mind you.

I spent a grand total of $10 on a five chance ticket (ie, you get five sets of numbers on one ticket).  I let the computer randomly select the numbers because I have no favorites, not being much of a lottery person.

On the news were people camped out in various establishments spending at times several hundred dollars on tickets.  One guy spent every last penny he had on him at the moment, showing off his empty pockets afterwards.  I felt bad for him.  I hope he hadn’t spend every bit of money he had, period!

Well, I got a grand total of two numbers, one of which was the “Powerball” number -though the numbers were on different lines- and therefore won zilch.

It’s nice to dream, though.

A sure-fire way to win the Powerball

The article presented below is not snark.  It is not fiction.  It actually offers you a genuine, very real, sure-fire way to win this week’s Powerball, which stands at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars.

So, how can this be?  What is the secret?  Read on, dear friends, as author David Goldman for CNN explains how…

Could You Guarantee Yourself a Powerball Jackpot?

I don’t want to spoil the article (go on, read it!), but I will offer a little hint:  It involves spending $584 million dollars.  Then again, if you guarantee yourself winning over a billion, its a good investment, no?

That is, unless another person/persons win as well!
