A joke, yes. We will laugh in the car.
Last night as I was trying to sleep my mind raced. The California Lottery is up to $95 mil now and I purchased a ticket two nights ago. I usually just purchase one ticket. It is my way of participating in the great proletariat dream and also contribute to the idiot tax at the same time. So I forgot about the whereabouts of the ticket and decided to do some laundry. Lo and behold the ticket was in my jeans and become slightly damaged as a result. I can still read the numbers except the last one (the "Mega" number). Now I'm thinking that if I match all five numbers I may have a winner and if the lottery commission can acertain that the ticket was purchased at the convenience store where I bought my ticket then I'm probably holding a winning ticket. It would then be my hope then that the commission would grant me a win.
Since I don't know what the "mega" number was, it was a random draw, I could do is buy up all the same numbers and choose a different "mega" number. This would cost me $27, since there are 27 combinations. I don't think I will do this. However I also want to sleep and I have the kind of crazy luck where just this kind of thing happens, I win but it'll take a team of forensic scientists a month to come up with a ruling.
The lottery is held on Wednesday night. Any suggestions?
