Talking I Won The Powerball!!!!

OK, it was only $4.00. I matched the powerball & one white ball.

But at least I don't have to dish out the cash for Saturdays drawing, I've got an instant reply!

YOU PUTZ!!! I actually got excited there. Hey good luck on saturday's draw

If I won that thing, I'd have me a list of things to do.
1) put myself through Bob Chandler school, I want to drive a monster truck, just once. Big trucks and motors get me excited (jets included).
2) I want to drive an 18 wheeler down a disserted road. This one in paticular, it matches my truck! PLus I have the poster of this one. http://www.panelite.com/gallery/1993-kww900l.htm
3) Be a chauffer (with a Phantom Excalibur) custom made into a limo.
Then I'd buy my hubby a shelby cobra.

Ya, I know I'm a putz!! I got excited just seeing the red-ball match, but I just see it a instant reply now. I think that I will never win that thing, but a couple buck a week & you never know.
Even if I did win I would'nt know what to do with the cash. I do know I will have everything I ever wanted. I'd probally give the lady that sells them to me a GOOD tip also, maybe she'll go out on a date with me then?

Now driving a 18 wheeler down a deserted road is fun & lonely at the same time. Done it many times. Get on some of those roads in WY. I drove one for 5 1/2 hours one time & only saw a handful of houses & a couple of car. One time I saw a field of antelope, I figured what the hell I needed my exercise. I stopped the truck, jumped in the field & started chasing them. About 5 minutes later I looked at my truck parked in the middle on the highway & low and behold there was a WY state police officer there. Laughing his but off at me. Kinda funny now thinking about it.

The reason I would give it all away is because I wouldn't have to face the disappointment every week when I lost, seeing as I don't play anyway, I still come out on top. I don't have anything against those that do play, its kinda fun to see it get to $180,000,000 and then some waitress in california or whatever wins it.

Winning the lottery isn't a goal of mine, I'm actually quite happy where I am, I have a job, and I have my girl, and FTE
