Powerball

Well, the AP just announced that a ticket was sold in Oregon matching all six numbers. Somebody is going to be very lucky indeedy... UNLESS they did what I heard about yesterday (and admit I thought it was a fab idea) -- you buy the lotto ticket and then you EAT IT. That way when your number doesn't win, you're happy and relieved! Hope whoever won didn't do that. $340 million is a lot of money.

What would you do? This is not for real so don't talk about donating it blah blah blah. And also - no saying, "I don't gamble" and so forth. PRETEND people - that's as close as you're going to get to the money anyhow.

Oh, side note - "hundreds of ticket buyers had played a set of numbers from the ABC drama "Lost," which featured a character who won $156 million by playing a string of digits obtained from a patient in a mental institution: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42."

Gotta love it!!
