Nothing.
Nada,
Zip.
Zilch.
Bugger.

How come?

HamsterHuey said:

oh, ya know. Trying to eat healthier. It's not that I don't eat it, I jsut don't as much as I used to. It's all veggies and yogurt and protein shakes and fruit these days. With the occasional indulgence.

and i can't believe you're not going to share with me.

HamsterHuey said:

oh yeah, we are moving our plane tickets before the month is up. I'll let you know.

But you only need to win once!

I'd pay off my debts, quit my job and travel the world!

I would hire a personal trainer, some bad ass that would put their boot up my ass if I tryed to be lazy, I would go someplace where I had no distractions for 3-4 months and focus on improving my phical condition. Some place I could surf to relax.

I would buy a new server for ben.

I would build a community for my family.

I would do other things too. but that's a start.

Me either

Big money could really change my situation, and I'd rather not think about that.

You can still win me.

I thought I already did. So much for the booby prize.

I'd make all of you my slaves.

I'd buy 2 luxury apartments in the centre of London. Live in one and rent out the other. Pay off my dad's mortgage. Hire a financial advisor and invest a huge wad in a few safe holdings.

Erm, it depends on how much it was though cos these days a few million doesn't really go that far when you live in a big city. Not enough to splash out and give up working for a significant period anyway.

I thought if you won the lottery, people took you to the center of town and stoned you!

I guess I'll start playing then!

I would pay off my minimal debts, set aside enough money that I could take care of basic expenses just from the interest, and then I would buy myself a condo in my current Seattle neighborhood, buy my parents and my sister homes, buy my two closest friends cars, and start travelling the world with my guy (SanFran, NY, England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Netherlands, Austria, India, Hong Kong, Tokyo. . . ), and then come home and get through med school, and probably hook up with Doctors without Borders for a while.

i loved that short story when i was in high school!! i even wrote a "sequel" to it as a class assignment!

fantasyislander said:

Cool! How did the sequel go?

TMPletz said:

it was bittersweet. kind of a "she got hers in the end" type thing. i'll look for it and see if i can orgnote you. i haven't read it in YEARS!!

fantasyislander said:

Thank you! I was hoping you still had it so I could ask you if I could read it.

TMPletz said:

can't make any promises, but i don't throw stuff like that away. it's probably down in my basement. i think i'll go look now, in fact . . .

People at the office have gotten together to buy tickets and share in the wealth. We won a whopping $3 on Saturday.

I had the powerball number fo th esecond straight time 29. I just can't get the other 5 numbers to match it!!

TMPletz said:

sorry, i can't find it. but i'll look again later and let you know if i come across it.

fantasyislander said:

Okay, sounds good. Thank you for the effort, though.

You don't have to win the lottery for that...

Just ask me nicely.
