Well, I can't do anything for my parents, they are long gone. I
already did for my grands, I already put their names along with mine
on the deed to a million dollar piece of real estate with right of
survivorship, I assume they will outlive me. One says she wants to be
a Veterinarian, I'd be honored to pay for her education... but right
now she's raising chickens, things can change.

I don't believe I'll win but I'll still buy a couple of tickets... if
I do win the joke will be on me, my life wouldn't change one iota...
I'd still dress exactly the same in old farmer clothes suitable for
walking muddy fields, I'd still eat exactly the same cooking for
myself... I might buy a new vehicle, if I can find one better than my
1990 Landcruiser that has never failed me... maybe I'd buy my old
trusty Landcruiser a new heated garage for its old age. Okay, my
house needs new oversize gutters and downspouts which I've been
planning on for this spring... is that in the Billion $ range? For
lunch today I had a salami sandwhich, even with a Billion $ I'd still
have the same lunch tomorrow. Tonight's dinner is rice and black
beans with left over pork chops and frozen spinach, a Billion $
wouldn't make me change my menu. Buying Lottery tickets for me is
sort of a joke but I intend to buy two Quick Picks, just so if I win I
can rub it in all your faces and not change my life one iota.
