We will wait and see we all have tickets

They did pay out 7 one million winners in the last drawing. I can settle for that.

Actually it was 14 second prize winners of one million and one with the megaplier of 2x. The time before was 8 second prize of one million, megaplier was 5x, they'd each have won 5 million if they spent the extra dollar. I always throw away the extra dollar on the megaplier, or powerplay the powerball. A lot of people don't know you can get that for the extra dollar. It can be up to x5, with the 2nd place normally $250,000, x2-5 and after taxes I'd rather spend the extra dollar. Must be they up it when the jackpot is huge.
We bought two tickets, six bucks with megaplied.

Suffice it to say it's a LOT of chickens. And you can even hire a few folks to care for them and clean up after them for you.

I wouldn't hire anybody but I'd definitely have a few warehouse size chicken barns with dozens of breeding pens, lots of projects, and many many acres of fenced in free range ,...
Why? Because I could

Did better than usual... got 2 numbers and the mega ball on 1 line... that's worth 10 bucks, plus a mega ball on another line, so 2 more bucks. Sorry friends... no free monetary gifts for you from me. The numbers are weird... I expect at least 2 winners. We'll see. Can't even imagine if there are no winners... the next drawing will be over 2 billion dollars... My guess would be about 2.5 billion, ~1.5 billion cash option, almost a billion after taxes... Can't even wrap my head around that...

Looks like I am definitely not a winner this morning

Good grief, see you are due for a few inches of "Lint," falling from the sky. Dry Lint? Or Wet Lint?

Could be worse SCG, you could be down south of Augusta!

We seem to be having "lint" this morning. Someone must not have cleaned the screen on their dryer for some time, more white than green on the ground now. I wasn't expecting it because, as it turns out, the "lint" box on my NOAA page wasn't checked. Should start tapering off soon and probably leave but might get some more tonight into tomorrow. I bet DW again asks about when I will be putting the "lint" tires on her car. Guess that will be a project for this weekend.

Staying cold. Guess I should put "wire new outlet near the alpacas' barn alley gate" on the top of the list for today. There is a bucket hook just inside the gate that I've used all summer but the outlet and hook I used last year was on the diagonally opposite corner of their area. I'm sure they would appreciate me not entering their space (because they always think I plan to cause them harm) to deal with water again this winter.

single winner of the MM in SC. We know anyone here from SC?

So far no more "lint" sightings out here
