Powerball

It is nice to see Indiana trending for good news and big-time winners this week.

If you are lucky enough to ever win the lottery, you should be aware of the expiration date.

Lottery fever has struck Kentucky twice in two days. One of the winning Powerball tickets was sold in Owensboro.

Like many of you, I'm in with a group of folks who've gone in on getting tickets for the $1.5 billion Powerball drawing. (And if no one wins I'll get back in here and change that number, because this particular point applies in perpetuity.)

Before you ask, it wasn't me. I've only purchased a handful of lottery tickets in my life and I've never won a single dollar back. My odds of winning at Ellis Park have been better in the last few years. The investigation into exactly who matched five numbers during last week's Powerball drawing is short, but it catches my curiosity.

The old saying is "Money can't buy happiness". I don't know about you, but I feel like $400 million would give it the ole college try, haha! Wednesday's Powerball jackpot is estimated at $400 million!! Say it out loud.... Four...hundred...million! It even sounds good, ha! Saturday's numbers (21, 24, 36, 42 and 45) were not winners, but would have given a winner an estimated $300 million.

Suddenly, I hate Florida!  In fact, I hate losing.  And I really hate losing 600 million dollars.  Yes.  The winning Powerball numbers have been announced and I think they suck.
