WOW, that's just ... WOW!!!
caseydog I just read your post to DH and he said, "ya know, maybe we should start doing that, we've never bought a lottery ticket."
He also said that the lump sum cash pay out sould be 40/60 usually, depending on the State and then the Federal combined... you should be sittin' pretty.
Not to be nosey, but you know I will be, What will you do with your dough-joe? :D

Besides, longhorns only belong on Cadillacs. Every Texan knows that.

Second order of business: some of those Scottish shorthorn cattle horns across the hood of his new MINI.
 
I received the IP Air Fryer that I ordered through Amazon this morning.
To my grave disappointment, its missing the cooking tray! :facepalm:
I have all of the components for a lovely supper of Steak Frites, only to have my taste buds dashed!
I tried to contact Amazon re-missing a part and was told to contact to manufacture - I jumped on Instant® brand live chat!!
I waited 45 minutes for an agent ... after another 55 minutes of back and forth (internet delays in responses) I GOT DISCONNECTED!
When I tried to reconnect - "Agents offline" 🤬
I went to my email and found a reply from the agent that I had been chatting with in my junk mail, of course, saying that she had processed a parts shipment and gave me a tracking number 😊
My faith has been renewed in Customer Service in general.
Bonus: DH is taking me out to eat - I really wanted Steak & Fries!!!

Soooo, about twice a year, I will use spare singles (dolar bills) to buy lottery tickets. Of course, I neveer win. Well, I think I won five bucks a couple of times.

On Wednesday, I was at 7-Eleven, and had three singles in change from a purchase, so I bought three lottery tickets. They I completely forgot about it. Once again, I can't sleep tonight, so I was surfing the web, and decided to check my numbers, just to find out I lost, again. The jackpot was $97-million (cash option). I did NOT win that... nobody did. But, I had 4 out of 5 numbers (along with 4 other people). That's good for $100,000!!! :eek: :dance::woot:

I never win ANYTHING. How did this happen?!

I won't be sleeping anytime soon. Because of the amount, I can't turn in my ticket until Monday at the lottery office in Dallas. That's going to be a nerve-wracking drive.

The guy at 7-Eleven who sold me the ticket is kind of a friend of mine -- he's been there for years. He will get something from the lottery, and so will the store owner (who is a b--ch).

A big chunk of my winnings will go to income taxes, but I should still have over half of it. I'm a "glass half full" guy, so I'm not going to complain about the taxes.
