OK,

Here's an update.

I'm in getting my free oil change a few weeks ago shooting the breeze with the salesman that sold me my Camaro and Silverado.
He happens to mention the dealership has a charity auction going on for a new Impala.
I buy tickets. For the kids, one for the wife, and one for the buddy that won the bike- Just curious to see if lightning would strike twice.

Friday afternoon, I get a phone call that my wife's ticket was pulled as one of the 30 finalists for the car drawing and that she already is qualified for a prize.

Now the wait till the big drawing.

Which day? Count me in!

I haven't, but I've known 2 people who have one. My first ever GF back in HS. Her parents won a few million. Another girl I went to HS with, her parents won a big $40mil lottery. They still live in that trailer home. They named their street after them tho. Not sure what they are up to now tho.

Me? If I won 40 mil. Jeez, as I live my life now. Only once will I be on this planet, so if I have the money, I'm going big. I don't care for investing at $40 mil. Spend spend spend. Leave a few mil for my son and it's up to him to make it. I want to go to my grave with no money in the bank. Don't care about setting up 4 generations in my family. They won't know who I am anyways.
